Verdict

NO MORE PINO has fared better switched to nurseries the last twice, leading until the closing stages at Lingfield on Thursday, so he could be the answer as he drops back down in trip. So Tempting was runner-up here on her penultimate start and is next on the list in a change of headgear, with Absolute Diamond also considered.
