Verdict

PULL THE PIN hasn't won since November 2013 but he's a consistent performer at this level and Danny Brock was on board when he was narrowly beaten by Lucky Clover at Chepstow. He's dropped to a reasonable mark and can get back to winning ways. I'll Be Good comes here with a penalty for a shock victory here last week but Joe Doyle's claim reduces the burden by half and if in the same mood he must be considered. Captain Scooby has had ten unsuccessful runs since scoring at Nottingham in November but is still 8lb higher. Chookie's Lass has only won once on Turf, when beating two rivals at Carlisle in August while eight of the nine career victories of Insolenceofoffice have come on the all-weather.
