Verdict
The four at the top of the weights look a cut above the rest on today's terms. But Johnny B Goode managed to get beat when odds-on in a Catterick claimer last time and Pool House was beaten by a couple of lower rated horses at Lingfield recently. Tahchee arrives out of form so a tentative vote goes to PICKS PINTA returning to the Turf for the first time for nearly a year having recorded both wins to date on fast ground.
