Pink Eyed Pedro has only run over hurdles once before and finished unplaced. He is handicapped on his hunter chase form so is readily passed over. Picture Painter needs holding up but has been struggling to maintain his effort. Ballyellis is probably capable of better and Sam Twiston-Davies is back on board and Jane Lamb has been knocking on the door. Blue N Yellow won at Exeter before finishing a close third at Stratford but we’ll take a chance on SINAKAR as Kerry Lee’s charge has run well the last twice and is probably on a fair mark at present.
