Verdict

Pinball Wizard made a winning reappearance over this track and trip in May but, though he's continued to run well, he's 10lb higher. Skontonovski has been beaten twice on Turf since scoring at Dundalk while PARTISAN HERO has never won. However, the latter has only had five starts and has run very well in two strong handicaps this summer so can get off the mark here. Danesfort wasn't far behind when Skontonovski finished runner-up at Killarney and has much more scope so is expected to reverse the form and get into contention.
