Logans Lad only won a claimer at Wolverhampton 10 days ago and a few of these have been knocking on the door. Cloak And Degas finished ahead of recent Wolverhampton runner-up Debt Free Dame at Southwell in July but there shouldn't be much between the pair on today's terms. Bondi Beach Babe has run well here in the past and must surely go close again on her latest third at Newcastle while Munjally and White Flag are others to consider. But we'll take a chance on CIRCUITOUS as he hasn't been running badly this year and is still coming down the weights.
