Still capable of winning off 30lb higher exactly two years ago, but basically consistent at a lower level these days, and still well suited by a galloping turf track; this step up to 1m4f looks long overdue.

In reasonably good form having made the frame in last three starts; however, still has a better strike-rate on Newcastle AW than on turf and this is a step back up in grade; 2lb out of weights.

Pebble Dash

J: Mr Louis Burke

T: Gary Harrison

0-15 but the odd promising effort, including a close second at Newcastle in March (7f); neither of his turf runs this summer suggest he is the answer today.

12/1

Betting Forcast

7/2 Off Spin, 7/2 Finally Escaped, 12/1 Anificas Beauty, 13/2 Pisanello, 13/2 Volenti, 11/4 Shifter, 10/1 Bitacora, 20/1 Pebble Dash

Verdict

Off Spin seems sure to go well once more in his bid for a breakthrough success but is 1lb worse off with SHIFTER from their recent meeting at Ayr when they came home second and third so narrow preference is for Wilf Storey’s dual course winner. The lightly raced Bitacora could also come into the reckoning if a breathing operation has had the desired effect, while Finally Escaped warrants respect after winning on Friday.[Peter Entwistle]
