Verdict
A tricky end to proceedings as If You Whisper, The Tichborne and Coral Moon all won their respective maidens last time. The latter was arguably the most impressive, but it could pay to stick with proven form here so AMWELL PINOT gets the vote on his return to action. He won on his debut at Chester back in May and has been placed in better company than this on the turf since. Alan Bailey's charges usually handle the Polytrack and his Dubawi colt is preferred to recent C&D winner Malice Or Mischief.
