    Verdict

    Thanksgiving Day came up short in a handicap last time and has to give plenty of weight to stablemate Life Less Ordinary, one of four maiden winners. Bow And Arrow scored at Kempton back in August but the form could have worked out better while Golden Highway opened his account over track and trip recently with a cosy win. But LOGORRHEIC gets a speculative vote on the strength of his victory at Kempton given a couple of subsequent winners, including the progressive Quest For Wonder, filled the places.
