Verdict
Keiren Fallon is an interesting jockey booking for Martin Pipe's Penny Pictures so can an eye on this one in the betting, however we will take a chance with Turnstile, Sharadi looks to be the main rival. The selection was an impressive winner at Kempton on his seasonal debut before running very flat in a competitive York handicap. He showed that running was all wrong when finishing a close second to Inchpast at Sandown last time and another good run can be expected today. Sharadi comes here in good form having beaten Moonshine Beach at Pontefract last time. Daryll Holland takes the mount on this front runner who will be difficult to get by. Penny Pictures is certainly no forlorn hope for Fallon supporters as she has been running well over hurdles and is well treated on her best form on the flat. Establishment can also go well off bottom weight, however if Turnstile puts his best foot forward today he will be difficult to beat.
