Pink Ribbon won at Wolverhampton last week but was due to run at Lingfield yesterday. Pinnata returns to 1m2f after scoring over a mile here recently while Enigmatic landed a double over the latter distance before finding one too good on his handicap debut. The Eagle's Nest was successful over today’s trip at Newcastle in October and Mullarkey was placed here off today’s mark last time. But FINTECH (NAP) is less exposed and is fancied to show further progress having gone close over course and distance a week ago on his first start for Philip Hide.
