Verdict
LEAN ON PETE was well beaten back on Turf last time but that was his first start since April. He'd been threatening to get his head back in front at this track before that with a string of placed efforts and it could be his turn today. Snow Hill came up short when third in similar company here last month but Catterick winner Yasir can race off a lower mark back on this surface and may figure. Blades Lad won on the Fibresand early in the year and St Ignatius should go well again despite a 4lb rise for scoring at Hamilton a fortnight ago.
