Verdict
Dineur did well to make all at Wincanton last time. He has a penalty to carry here but this track is similar in nature and the top weight seems sure to be in the firing-line again. Keep Talking also has 7lb extra after scoring at Warwick but this is a stronger contest and just as interesting is Kayaan, who only found Quiet Whisper too good at Leicester on his latest start. DRUMSHAMBO ran well for a long way on his reappearance at Lingfield and will strip fitter here. Venetia Williams' stable is beginning to find a bit of form and her five-year-old could be well treated in this so gets the vote ahead of maiden Pinerolo.
