PULL THE PIN has really found his form and could hardly have won more easily on heavy ground at Catterick. He has a penalty to carry but has won from higher marks on the all-weather so should complete the double. Fathom Five has now dropped to his lowest-ever mark and showed that his turn isn't far away when leading for a long way on testing ground at Catterick last time. Balinka has been dropping slowly in the ratings but her overall recent form leaves her with a bit to find while though Quality Art had the selection and Borough Boy behind at Leicester earlier that was over 6f on fast ground.
