PACIFIC HEIGHTS is ultra-consistent and looked a shade unlucky when only third in the Carlisle Bell two runs ago. He made no mistake at Newcastle on his latest start in July and, rested since, can make a winning reappearance despite a new career-high mark. Dutch Rose won a valuable handicap at York last time and is entitled to respect while Hot Rod Mamma likes it here, as does King Torus. Suits Me will ensure an honest gallop but looks too high in the weights now while Dubai Hills disappointed last time. Mushaakis started favourite at Pontefract last month but finished last.
