        Verdict

        PICKS PINTA has been threatening a return to winning ways and finished second again over 7f at Chester last week. But he also went close over today's trip at Musselburgh before that and gets the vote on that form. Welsh Inlet and Just Isla are harder to fancy as they have done all their winning over 7f so far, but the top weight Sword Of The Land has a shout having gone close off today's mark back in April.
