SAN PIETRO (NAP) has been in good form over fences lately and reverts to hurdles off only a 2lb higher mark than when scoring at the track last month. Court Baloo only won by a head over course and distance last month and is 6lb higher while Perseid remains high enough in the weights, though still makes more appeal than Danceintothelight and remote Worcester third Jaunty Thor. Crockery got stopped in his tracks by a bad blunder last time and could be threat with a clear round.
