In depth
Verdict
Pitney failed to land the odds at Chelmsford a fortnight ago while Leveret is upped in trip along with Zipster. The latter was a losing favourite over 6f here back in August while Lady Pagasa has yet to match her debut second at Newmarket in the same month. SUNNY STREET never threatened when fourth at Kempton but showed enough to suggest he could get involved with normal progress and gets the vote.
