Peppay Le Pugh has had plenty of chances and so has Scrutinise. Lord County has got nowhere near so far while Strait Of Magellan appears to have gone backwards this season. Receiving weight all round, DOES IT IN STYLE would not need to improve much on his second at Leicester to go one better here, despite a 3lb rise. Fit For Fifty still looks a few pounds too high but Life Knowledge could be interesting as he’s had just the four runs over timber and shown promise on a couple of occasions.
