Picks Pinta will need to step up on this season's efforts to figure, but the remainder are closely matched at the weights. However, none can be recommended with any confidence as Tolmias is dropped in trip having shown no improvement in three starts over 7f and Stroll On has yet to match her debut effort at Yarmouth back in August. LADY CROSSMAR showed up for a long way over 7f at Sandown on her reappearance before fading badly and she gets the token vote having won over 6f on the Polytrack last season.
