Verdict

SIGNORA DI MILANO made a promising start for Gordon Elliott when a recent runner-up here and can go one better now at the chief expense of Fortuna Favente who should have learned plenty from coming home eighth in the same contest and can get much nearer this time. Fathom Two is another to consider starting out over hurdles for Gavin Cromwell.
