It's hardly surprising to see PYTHAGOREAN turning out here with a penalty as the assessor will take a dim view of his demolition job over the course and distance last week where he won easing down. He'll be very difficult to beat and earns the vote though the progressive Testamatta will ensure he doesn't get things his own way as he was an impressive maiden winner on Fibresand at Southwell. Richard Hughes has chosen Pivotal Movement of Richard Hannon's pair despite an absence since landing a Wolverhampton maiden in October so he's one to note while Majestic Moon is tried in blinkers after he threw away his chance at Warwick by hanging right in the closing stages.
