PONTRESINA was denied a winning chase debut in the stewards' room but he's open to further progress in this sphere and may be capable of gaining compensation. Mr Mafia seemed to overdo the front-running tactics at Warwick last time so probably remains in form and may provide the chief threat ahead of Top Decision.
