We said5th of 5, beaten 12¾ at 13/8F
PEQUENITA 2/1
PEQUENITA at 2/1, Andrew Balding and P. J. McDonald, is the one I would side with. He was only just denied off a similar mark, beaten 0.3L off 71 on 5 September, was staying on at the finish last time and comes from a yard in good heart at 29%.
The dangers are XOCHIPILLI at 5/1 (in first-time headgear) and LADY CAROLINE LAMB at 9/4.
