Michael Bell's Pivotal colt can leave his debut behind him in FINE STYLE. Unfancied on debut at Newmarket, this stoutly-bred fellow should be all the wiser for the outing and with the longer trip in his favour today he can oblige at rewarding odds. Freehand is nicely-bred and he can improve for the fitting of a tongue-tie, Enabling represents top connections and his half-brother Roker Park is a soft ground winner, whilst U A E Storm may be of more interest when encountering handicaps back on the all-weather. Of more interest is Profondo Rosso whose debut form has worked out exceedingly well and this colt ran a promising race on soft ground at Chester earlier in the month.
