Nonno Giulio beat IBERICA ROAD a length to win a claimer at Redcar last time. But the latter is fancied to take revenge given today’s big turn around at the weights and Grant Tuer’s charge gets the nod. Chiswick Bey drops in class and should be in the mix on these terms with Paul Hanagan on board and Italian Beauty is another with a shout at the weights and has a fine strike rate on Turf. The remainder look up against it.
