It's difficult to get away from the chance of MILANO SUPREME despite an absence since October. Mags Mullins' charge made a bright start to his career at Gowran on fast ground when fourth to Boholo Lady and should have benefited from that experience. Dusty Sheehy's newcomer Alvatar is related to a host of winners though mainly staying chasers but alternatives to the selection are few and far between and he could be good enough for a place. Bobs Way has failed to complete the course in three starts so far but was in contention when coming to grief two from home in a maiden hurdle at Down Royal on St Patrick's Day and has scope for further progress.
