Peroni Nastro Azzurro 0.0% Handicap

Useful sort whose 6f form last year comprised an easy win on debut and two creditable efforts at Group level, notably a close third in the Coventry; outstayed in sole 7f attempt but may see out this trip better now he's older; gelded over the winter; class-dropper on handicap debut.

Ties in with Columnist on Coventry running; subsequently ran well in the Mill Reef and Horris Hill at Newbury, latter upped to 7f; drops back in grade on handicap debut and while this mark doesn't look easy, he brings progressive RPRs; wears first-time hood.

Scored twice over 6f last term, including comfortably at Doncaster (handicap debut) final start; gelded prior to running well over 7f at Newbury on reappearance and looks open to further improvement; possibilities, provided he takes well to first-time headgear.

Frankel colt whose dam's siblings include Grade 1 and Group 3 winners; produced form figures of 521 in 2yo novice events, scoring nicely at Kempton (7f, AW) the final time; highly likely to improve further this term and opening mark looks attractive in view of his pedigree; respected.

Campaigned on AW this year, reaching a fairly useful standard; ran respectably over 6f at Newcastle on Good Friday, shaping as if this return to 7f will suit; successful in last attempt at this trip and has shown clear promise on turf; interesting.
