Remains winless but he wasn't discredited when fourth of 6 in handicap chase at Warwick (20f, good) 14 days ago, fading from last. One to consider now dropped to 2m.

Forecasts

Tropical Talent (15/8), Pittsburg (10/3), Zmiinyi (4/1), Fox Wallace (9/2), My Portia (11/1), Head Over Hinds (12/1), Time To Dazzle (66/1)

Verdict

A few with chances but PITTSBURG still looks handily weighted despite taking a 4 lb rise for his recent Market Rasen victory so edges the vote. Zmiinyi could emerge as the main danger now he drops to the minimum trip for the first time, while in-form pair Tropical Talent and Fox Wallace can both have a say too.
