HOWLING MILAN fell at the last when 3l clear off 125 over this course and distance earlier this year, and dropped to 123 he has to be in with a shout at a course that seems to bring out his best. Decent ground shouldn’t be an issue but he does have to bounce back to form after a disappointing switch to chasing this season. There are horses with worse profiles trading shorter in this handicap hurdle and 14/1 underestimates him. The clear dangers are the two at the top of the market, with On The Wild Side very difficult to assess.
1pt each-way Howling Milan @14/1, 13:50 Newbury, Saturday (1-4, 1/5)
