Still winless and defeats stacking up (14 on the bounce); not beaten that far in fifth (just over 3l) when dropped to this distance (Turffontein) last month; may have to settle for supporting role.

Verdict

Dreadnought represents a trainer that does well with beginners while Pittar has an attractive pedigree. But firm preference is for WALKINGINTHEWOODS. He appears to be the standout newcomer.
