Verdict

Both Pasaka Boy and Rasasee showed decent form on the level and have already demonstrated an aptitude for their new discipline. Indeed, both can be expected to land a small novice hurdle in the summer months but it is hard to see either handling AZZURI. The Skelton inmate has been cleverly placed to land a couple of hurdles and has also competed well at a higher level. He has to concede weight to his rivals but the presence of his talented amateur aboard should simplify his task further.
