It's been a while since CASANOVA last got his head in front but he's been given a chance by the handicapper and there were positives to glean form his effort over this C&D last month. The 8-y-o shades preference ahead of Independent Expert, who got the better of Scholarship at Cork recently and a 4 lb rise is hardly draconian. The latter should be on the premises once again, too, and Mr Rango is another to consider.
