PINNACLE PEAK (NAP) will likely be a short-priced favourite having completed his hat-trick in effortless fashion at Southwell, though he has been hit with a massive 16lb hike in the ratings. Glinger Flame in only a pound higher than when winning at Hexham last year but he’s not reproduced that form since. The Sweeney isn’t badly treated but might need this with Espalion possibly the pick of the remainder.
