Just a moderate tempo given the absence of pacy gallopers. PIEROLITE (3) has the benefit of race experience and most recent trial was sharp. Well placed after the claim. CITY GOLD FIELD (1) has trialled up sharp as a tack for his debut. Poorly drawn but can make an early impact. WILD ANNIE (6) failed to fire a shot last prep but recent trials on wet tracks hint at better here. Must keep safe. NOBLE RUBY (11) is racing genuinely in similar company of late. Overdue a win but up to this on home patch. COLUMBIA BLUE (2) won a wet track trial recently and is from a flutter-friendly stable. SUGGESTED PLAY: Pierolite each-way.
