PIER PRESSURE signalled he is ready to end a losing run when a very good second in a big-field Leopardstown handicap last time so gets the nod in this open race. Giuseppe Cassioli heads the list of dangers off a handy-looking mark with Earls, Daonethatgotaway, Una Matata and Hemight in the picture too. Brains completes the shortlist.
