Verdict

Trinity Star won this in 2015 but hasn't scored since which is why he's 12lb lower. Pioneering has suddenly found his form and won with something in hand at Beverley and, though a 9lb hike looks harsh, he's progressing fast. Danny Tudhope prefers him to stable companion Dandyleekie, who was beaten in a seller last time. Mama Africa was having her 20th start when runner-up at Leicester and she remains a maiden. She is also on her highest ever mark so it's no surprise to see a claimer on board. Keepup Kevin has won only once though that was at Newmarket on soft ground over this trip. He's only run moderately in his last two starts so WORKING CLASS is handed the vote. Peter Chapple-Hyam's charge won a Lingfield maiden on soft ground and has raced at a higher level than this in his two subsequent starts and performed with credit.
