Verdict

PAVILION END hasn't won since scoring on Flat debut over C&D back in January 2025 but Charles O'Brien's 6-y-o has been knocking on the door in recent weeks so gets the nod to double his tally. Nakasero bounced back to his best when finding only Diamond Exchange too strong at Naas last month and that pair can chase home the selection in that order.
