Verdict
Indian Tinker hasn't won since 2011 and still looks high enough in the weights having been placed at Ripon last time. A prolific winner on the Polytrack here, Picansort has yet to win on Turf despite competing off a 20lb lower mark, while the likes of Dishy Guru and Putin do their winning in lower grade company. CHAMPAGNE CHARLEY coped well enough on her first start in a handicap when second at Leicester and, with further progress expected, she gets the nod to open her account.
