Verdict
The majority do not turn up in the best of form, whereas that's not the case with PAMMI and Putting Green, who were only separated by a short head here this month and the latter is now 1lb better off. It's a tough call but PAMMI will possibly handle the forecast quicker conditions more effectively and is arguably the more consistent of the pair, although his main rival has probably been prepared with this race in mind after landing the prize in 2019. The remainder do need to deliver improved form but On A Promise shaped quite nicely behind the aforementioned pair recently on a first run since wind surgery and should get closer now with that run under his belt.
