Racing Post verdict
Third-partyPentonville has landed back-to-back handicaps and arrives here in fine form, most recently winning at Brighton off a mark 6lb lower in a performance where he hit the line strongly for a top course yard; effective at 1m-10f on a sound surface and progressive. The dangers are Napolian, who could put his reappearance run behind him and has a solid placed record, and Station Bar, who is in good form after a recent win. Our selection is Pentonville.
