Verdict
PYROCLASTIC has slipped down the handicap and went close to taking advantage when narrowly beaten over track and trip last time in a tight finish. Jim Boyle's charge may come good again in this with The Happy Hammer looking high enough in the weights at present. By contrast, Twin Point and Perfect Alchemy have been back on winning marks for a while with the latter finishing ahead of Satchville Flyer at Kempton last time, though course and distance winner Light Rose may prove a bigger danger.
