Comparatively unexposed on Turf, Pinnata is potentially thrown in on his all-weather form but an absence since March is a little off-putting. First-time blinkers could aid the so-far frustrating Crimewave while there are also possibilities about Algaffaal and My Dear Friend but we’ll stick with SEDUCTIVE MOMENT, despite a penalty, as the Johnston gelding was a decisive winner at Windsor on Monday when returning from a break and has scope for further improvement.
