      Verdict

      You don't often see chasers from the Nicky Henderson and Paul Nicholls' yards in opposition at Fakenham and the latter can come out on top here with THEMILANHORSE. A victory at Southwell will have done his confidence the world of good and he's probably more at home over this trip than Private Equity, beaten in three out of four starts over shorter since finishing second over 3m at Doncaster. Massini Lotto is also interesting making his debut over the larger obstacles as he is a lot less exposed than Turbo Du Ranch.
