AUTHORIZED MISSION disappointed on his final 2 starts last term, but he's fancied to get back on track now returning to a lower grade for a new stable that has very much hit form. Gonnino promises to be suited by the step up to 2½m and must enter calculations, along with veteran Coral Blue, who has dropped a long way in the weights and took a step back in the right direction at Carlisle recently.
