Bollin Joan has clear claims after a game win in a competitive handicap at the Dante meeting over an extended 1m2f. She only scored by a head but has gone up 3lb rise to a new career-high mark of 88. Forest Falcon, not been beaten far on each start this term, is likely to give this a good shot from the front and drops to Class 3 company after a trio of outings in better company. Scottish Summit scored just a couple of days ago and is respected, while Heights Of Abraham is consistent at a decent level. However, PISANELLO looks an improved sort this term and may have more to offer after taking time to acclimatise last season when moving to David O'Meara from France.
