PINEAPPLE EXPRESS overcame a troubled passage to score with a bit in hand at Gowran only three days ago and looks the one to beat turned out under a 6 lb penalty. Sinseir should be on the premises after a good recent fifth over C&D, especially if the fitting of cheekpieces ekes out a bit more improvement, with Dazzling Darren another worth a second look now the assessor has relented.
