AZZURI has found one or two too good on several occasions when fancied, but Dan Skelton looks to have found another nice opportunity for him to get his nose in front, though caution is advised. Copain De Classe should give him the most to do, while that yard's other inmate Azari is an interesting newcomer. Ruby Russet may be able to pick up some money again.
