Racing Post verdict

Third-party

Pisanello heads this modest Leicester contest on a ten-furlong trip on good-to-firm ground, narrowly ahead of Kameel and Hachiman on our assessments, and should prove good enough at this level to justify favouritism. Kameel represents the sternest threat given he sits just a pound adrift, while Hachiman and Ricardo Phillips will also need to be accounted for if Pisanello is to prevail. **Pisanello** is the selection.
