Verdict
The last of a number of puzzles on today's card and Oi Vay Joe is put forward as the selection despite not looking the most straight forward of rides last time at Lingfield. In that event confined to lady amateurs, he threw away a race winning chance when drifting left inside the closing stages. He could prove a tricky ride for his young apprentice but he appears very well weighted on the pick of his form. Mafaheem rediscovered the winning thread last time at his favoured Wolverhampton and has to be considered although the course configurations would be the worry while Kyllachy Storm is an obvious each way consideration given his consistency. Harrison's Flyer found the very quick Goodwood five furlongs too sharp for him last week and this stiff five will be to his liking but Oi Vay Joe is the pick.
