If running to form GIULIETTA DA VINCI should have no problems landing this claimer for new connections leaving Chookie Avon and Tuscan King fighting for minor prizes. After easily landing one of these at Lingfield a week ago the pick left Richard Hannon's yard for Nigel Tinkler's and for a tidy enough sum. He looks to have been found a really decent opportunity to follow up with the weights landing very much in his favour. Chookie Avon is open to plenty of improvement after just three starts and looks to have been fairly rated. If his mark is true he still has plenty to find to win here but looks to have great claims on a place. Tuscan King was well held by the selection last time out and has a job on his hands to overturn that result but should at least be in the mix for minor prizes. Dontbugthebunny is consistent in the main but unless cheek pieces bring about plenty of improvement he won't be scoring either so all in all this looks set up for Giulietta Da Vinci.
