It's probably worth trusting in the potential of the 3-y-o PINHOLE, who was never really in the hunt in the Queen's Vase at the Royal meeting here but, judged on his fourth in a Chester Group 3 won by none other than subsequent English/Irish Derby hero Lambourn during the spring, the Frankel colt could be on a good mark for this handicap debut. C&D winner Assail is feared most, but Dream Harder is also strongly respected with William Buick booked and Arqoob is hard to discount, too.
