PENNFIELD PIRATE will be a popular choice having been placed on both starts since his return to action last month. His close-up second at Newbury reads well in this lesser company and Hughie Morrison's charge gets the vote. Mediterranean Sea also has claims on her fourth here in May and she'll have come on for her recent return from a lay-off, while Holden Eagle should be thereabouts with Kieren Fallon booked, though he's yet to win a race. Ministry went close in a similar event over C&D in June and makes most appeal of the remainder.
