Verdict
PINNATA hit top form at this time last year when landing a hat-trick on the all-weather including a defeat of Straight Right. The latter re-opposes on better terms but hasn’t raced since June and Stuart Williams’ charge is fancied to confirm running back over 7f today. Above The Rest is at home at this level if back to his best form but Raydiance ended the Turf season out of sorts and dual novice winner Aljari never threatened on his handicap debut. Intisaab and Finoah are upped in class for this while Caballero ended last year with a victory at Newmarket and is 5lb higher on his reappearance.
