In depth
Verdict
Pinnata finished second at Sandown last summer when 3lb higher but has shown next to nothing since. BLACKHEATH should go well, however, as he’s 6lb lower than his last winning mark and has been steadily coming to hand. Fred has won three times already this year but looks in the handicapper’s grip now while Legal Reform seems best at Southwell. Visibility is also still seeking a first Turf victory but was second here earlier in the week and makes more appeal than the returning Mr Millarcky.
