PYRAMID PLACE is deserving of topweight having performed creditably in Class 2 and 3 company of late and now descends to Class 4. The trip is a slight concern but he should be okay around here on the forecast good ground and Gina Andrews is a classy booking. Tiger Orchid and Lelantos are worthy of respect but both return from absences and this may not be the time to catch them, whereas Ike Sport looks a likelier type if bouncing back from a slightly below par effort last time. His previous two runs afford him every chance. Prince De Juilley needs to improve on his latest effort but Gwennie May Boy is taken seriously as he's only had a handful of runs over hurdles and should have more to offer stepping up in trip.
