      Verdict

      Tornado In Milan narrowly got the better of favourite Sound Investment over course and distance last month with Itsuptoyou a remote last of five finishers. The runner-up is 5lb better off today so has every chance of turning the tables. Massena is on a four-timer after recent exploits but has collected a penalty for his latest victory at Wetherby and upped in grade here. LORD OF HOUSE found Grade 2 company too hot at Warwick last time but is suited by sharp tracks and heavy ground and can bounce back in this with Gavin Sheehan taking off a valuable 3lb.
