PERCY SHELLEY (1) was a three time winner on the flat when trained in France. Disappointing for trainer David O'Meara however consistent now representing James Owen. Finished second previous five starts attempting the level. Improved winning by 4.5L hurdle debut at Uttoxeter three-weeks-ago. Could take plenty of beating despite conceding weight to his rival. MALDINI MILANO (2) represents fourteen time champion trainer Paul Nicholls. Won debuting at Exeter and delivered two poor runs since. Solid hurdle debutante at Newton Abbot last time but needs further improvement to challenge. Might prove capable enough to do so.
