Verdict

The combination of the return to a longer trip and refitting of blinkers should help PERFECT PIRATE who gets the nod here on the back of a decent comeback run at Southwell. Nifty at Fifty could pose a threat if putting his best foot forward, while Royal Claret's 2-2 C&D record also affords her respect.

  1. PERFECT PIRATE
