PENTLAND HILLS has clearly had a few issues but a Flat mark in the 60s could obviously underestimate him if he still possesses anything like the ability he showed over hurdles a few years ago. Mercian Hymn is consistent in the main and could go well stepping up in trip. Tendentious and Sulochana also make the shortlist.
