FORZA MILAN looks the one to beat in this on his second to Rather Be at Huntingdon on Boxing Day. The winner almost followed up at Sandown earlier this month and Jonjo O’Neill’s charge had handled soft going well enough at Ffos Las earlier. Wetherby runner-up Rock My Style is a danger, however, and Glenforde can only improve on his fourth at Warwick. Bite The Biscuit might do better now hurdling and Hardrock Davis and Monbeg Aquadude are other decent long-term prospects.
