Soundbyte is our call with Pinnacle Point and Limelight the most likely to trouble him. A 20/1 shot when obliging at the course last week, there was no fluke about the victory which was recorded in spite of a car park draw on the day. A 6lb rise seems fair on balance and it could be that John Gallagher's charge has now got the hang of the racing game. Pinnacle Point can be forgiven a below par run on soft going last time out. He has shown an aptitude for the course in the past. Limelight could be anything and is likely to be priced cautiously by the bookmakers. She didnt show a great deal on her first handicap start but that was with soft going obtaining. Things may be different here and it is interesting that Seb Sanders is here rather than at York. Waarid looked difficult to steer when trained by Willie Haggas. Gary Moore attempts to work his own magic on proceedings. The visor is dispensed with on Dancing Dik. Ambrose Princess has been running well in plating contests but has more on her plate here. Plenty of plausible winners and Soundbyte is our idea.
