Peroni Nastro Azzurro 0.0% British EBF Fillies' Handicap (Str)

Won a Sandown listed race last summer but not been at her best so far this year and has plenty on her plate conceding weight all round back in handicap company here. Tongue strap on first time.

Sent off the outsider of field but acquitted herself well when third in listed race at Kempton (8f) on return 35 days ago. Must be respected, back handicapping, although her sole success came back in 2022.

Useful mare who scored over this C&D (soft) and Yarmouth last summer. Ended her 2023 campaign with good thirds here but operating some way below best in pair of handicaps so far this spring. Ease in class a plus at least.

Made winning return at Haydock last term and added to that when taking 7f handicap at this course in September. Below form on softer ground at Newmarket the following month but must enter calculations first time up here.

Salisbury novice winner who produced a career best when third on handicap debut at Pontefract (8f) in September, looking well served by the increase in trip. Entitled to strip fitter for last month's Kempton return and she may have more to offer yet.

Much improved when second on handicap debut at Sandown (10f) in September before landing the odds in Epsom minor event on final start of last term. May have needed last month's Chelmsford return and figures off a handy mark.

Off the mark at Kempton in November but found step up in grade too much when fifth of 6 in Fred Darling at Newbury last month. Tries handicapping now but opening mark could have been kinder.

Won 3 times in a busy 2-y-o campaign and got on scoreboard this term when landing handicap at Southwell (7.1f) last month. Only narrowly failed to follow up at Beverley (7.4f, good to soft) since and remains on a workable mark.

Promising sort who posted a career best when impressively winning at Wolverhampton (8.6f) in March and followed up (off 9 lb higher) in cosy fashion at Southwell 29 days ago. More to do (from 2 lb out of the handicap) in this company but she remains with potential.

Much improved when winning a pair of 1m handicaps in the mud last month. Takes a steep rise in class and finds herself 14 lb (3 lb out of the weights) higher now, though.
