The booking of Darryll Holland for the lightly weighted Wild Pitch may be enough to help Phillip Mitchell's charge get the better of Tromp, while Quel Fontenailles arrives in good form and should make a bold bid under his 6lb penalty. However, the last named is no speed merchant and this looks a stiffer test for him. Tromp is still open to improvement and can continue to pay his way. However, this is no easy task on these terms for his handicap debut and, as only had a neck to spare last time and, is effectively 5lb worse off this afternoon, Wild Pitch looks the safer option this afternoon.
