Living Leader scored over 7f here earlier this month, when My Son Max was behind, and was obviously feeling the effects when sent to Bath the following day where he weakened quickly over this trip. PICK A LITTLE (NAP) finished runner-up in the latter event and is running well at the moment. He's climbing the weights but has won from higher marks in the past and looks good enough. Lady Bayside has gained three of her four career victories on the track but she generally likes some give in the ground and appears unlikely to have those conditions. Picks Pinta has been racing on the all-weather and has never won beyond 6f.
