Lady Pinnacle finally opened her account when landing a maiden race at Wolverhampton. She can race off the same mark back in a handicap but PENDO is preferred. The latter found only Tatting, rated 70, too good off level weights in a claimer last time and should go close with a similar effort. Nubar Boy has a shout on his best form but has been off the track for well over a year now while the likes of Rakaan, West Leake and Welsh Inlet are all capable at this level on their day though it's difficult to predict when that will be.
