Pistoletto won twice on the Flat but stamina could be an issue, even on this sharp track. Jaramillo and SERGEANT WILSON both disappointed last time in handicap company but are much respected on earlier form. The latter may have the greater scope for improvement so gets the nod. Treyarnon Bay dropped away tamely on her hurdling debut at Huntingdon but this is a weaker contest and she will have learned from the experience.
