Pistoletto drops down in trip after scoring over 1m4f here while Bowerman finished ahead of Summit Star when scoring at Dundalk in February and can race off a lower mark if an apprentice’s allowance is taken into account. But BALDOMERO has been keeping better company than this and having won over today’s trip at Kempton before just missing out at Wolverhampton, Mick Appleby’s charge gets the vote in this lower grade. Enfranchise beat subsequent dual winner Fountain Cross over track and trip in January while Civil Law and Lammas have won at Wolverhampton recently and both beat Precision Storm. Dembe is upped in class and distance and Pretty Sweet is preferred of the remainder.
