Verdict

PICKS PINTA won over 6f here on his penultimate start when beating Star Cracker with My Girl Maisie further behind and may prove good enough again. Displaying Amber scored over track and trip in September but is 4lb higher on her return but Intense Starlet finished in front of Novabridge when third over the minimum trip at Southwell last time. Windforpower has plenty to find with the selection on latest running but has won five times over course and distance and can pop up at this level when the mood takes him.
