      Verdict

      PJANOO has the strongest form having found only subsequent Group 2 winner Isaac Shelby too good at Newbury on his debut with a subsequent winner back in fourth. This slightly longer trip will suit and he’s preferred to Feel The Need. The latter showed some promise when fourth over track and trip and makes more appeal than Beverley fourth Rory The Cat and Masterpainter.
