Verdict
AL SHABAB will be more at home back at this lower level having been beaten less than a length at Leicester on his penultimate start. He’s closely matched at the weights with Pressure's On though the latter has yet to race over this far having placed on numerous occasions. Pretence has only won a seller at Chester but Pinjarra represents last year’s winning yard and placed over a mile here last time.
