HERE NOW AND WHY is creeping back up the weights but is at least showing some consistency which is more than can be said for the rest of the field. Ian Semple's charge gets the token vote after a close-up fourth at Hamilton. Myjestic Melody posted a poor effort at Doncaster last time on the back of a second at Thirsk while Lees Anthem went gone close to winning at Musselburgh in May but hasn't threatened since. Boucher Garcon and Blown It are both good enough to figure on their best form but are struggling at present.
