Pull The Pin has won twice this year, both times on the Fibresand at Southwell. He'll go close if as effective on this faster surface but preference is for THRUST CONTROL. He carries a penalty for last week's win in a seller at Beverley but this isn't much better and he can go in again. At the top end of the handicap, Viking Warrior should finish closer dropped in class while both Muftarres and West Leake Hare are looking to take advantage of a slide down the weights. Mishhar could prove best of the rest with a couple of recent runs under his belt.
