Verdict
Jeremy Scott has his string firing on all cylinders and the lightly-raced Pyleigh Lass could be another winner for the yard if able to build on her latest second at Chepstow. Warsaw Pact and Stripe Me Blue have the past form to figure but Black Phantom and Oscarslad have become disappointing and Mossini lacks a recent run. THE DISENGAGER fell when favourite for a chase at Southwell last month but may have needed that outing and is better judged on his win in a competitive handicap over the smaller obstacles at Exeter around this time last year. Philip Hobbs' eight-year-old gets the vote here.
