Cinnodin has been progressing steadily as his trips have increased over hurdles, going a close second last time off 102 with only 2lb more in hand here, and his Flat pedigree suggests there is more to come as distances lengthen; a first-time hood adds purpose. Belgarum is the most obvious danger having won off a lower mark penultimate start and run creditably in defeat since, while Striking A Pose and Jafimgoso both have legitimate claims. Cinnodin is our selection.
