Ziarah ran well again when runner-up at Chelmsford having won at Wolverhampton before that but Equitant, a winner at Carlisle, ran no sort of race at Beverley last time. It was soft going at Redcar when Up Sticks And Go ended last year with a win in novice company and he makes a belated return to action but LOGI (NAP) makes most appeal. A runner-up over track and trip here before finding one too good again at Chester, Rebecca Bastiman’s charge should make another bold bid.
