Pinotage ran well behind the in-form Waving over 1m6f here last time and drops back in trip along with Helmsley Flyer. The latter scored over course and distance on his penultimate start and Grandiloquent performed the same feat when scraping home by a head here last week. Rocky Rebel and No Compromise are harder to fancy not having won since 2012 but SIAN GWALIA has a leading chance. She beat a previous winner when landing a higher grade contest over track and trip three weeks ago and David Simcock's filly is fancied to go in again despite a 4lb higher mark.
