      held up, pushed along and late headway approaching final furlong, not trouble leaders

      In depth

      Verdict

      It looks worth sticking with the unbeaten BRUSHWORK in this. The latter gave the impression this extra furlong would suit when finding more in the closing stages of his handicap debut to land a hat-trick of course wins and a 3lb rise may not be enough to anchor him in this. Glen Shiel has yet to win for current connections and drops down in trip while Pinnata still looks a shade high in the weights having run below par here last time when a long way behind fourth-placed Intisaab. The latter hasn’t won for some time now while maiden winner Baronial Pride has been gelded since last in action back in 2018.
