Jintshi returns to action having run well for a long way over 6f at Newmarket on his debut in June. He can figure but PICTOGRAPH (NAP) has the more recent form with a third at Wolverhampton last month and gets the nod in this given he was clear of the rest and the runner-up has subsequently won. Blacklister returns to maiden company after a couple of decent efforts in handicaps and can figure but Pearly Prince made only a modest start over 1m2f here - Harry Holland is preferred of the newcomers.
