A difficult finale for punters to unravel but LAMH AR LAMH has shown enough potential to earn the vote from her very lowly mark and boost her paddock value. She ran her best-ever race last month and can run from a 1lb lower mark. Lizard Point is another who can't get any lower and ran well last time, though a strike-rate of 0-21 is off-putting. California Lad has been in fine form and has only gone up 3lb for his second recent victory over track and trip while the versatile Shake The Bucket is on a lower mark than when last successful here, though that was over 1m4f. Konig Hall was in very good form throughout last summer and Kevin Manning's presence suggests he'll be ready after a break while Society Ranger is rarely beaten far at this level.
