SAN GIOVANNI was possibly a bit unlucky at Newton Abbot in April. Placed twice last season, Harry Fry’s six-year-old gets one final chance to come good. Former pointer Mr Craftsman finished tailed off on his debut under Rules but French import Ike Sport is worth a market check while Biowavego has hinted at ability. Imperial Lightning is a full brother to a bumper winner but he showed nothing on his debut, though might do better now going jumping.
