In depth
Verdict
Nonno Giulio is penalised for winning a seller at Redcar and Testa Rossa is upped 4lb for a recent success over track and trip. Beatbybeatbybeat landed a double over a mile on Turf last month and maiden winner Dark Intention has been thereabouts of late and drops down in class. But GREEN HOWARD found only one too good in a classified race over course and distance last time and he gets the vote to come out best and confirm running with Magic City and Weather Front in the process.
