COCKNEY can atone for a costly defeat with Logos Astra and Fifty Moore put up as the alternatives. Mark Johnston's charge was turned over at odds of 1-5 last time out but it could be worth chancing that this was a merely a bad day at the office and it seems interesting that the handler wishes to come back to the racecourse so quickly. Logos Astra is respected having made a long journey up North. He should have few excuses on the going. Jedd O'Keeffe had a winner the other day but it is to be hoped that Fifty Moore runs significantly better than he did at Beverley. I'm Super Too has struggled to get his head infront. Le Volcan D'Or drops in trip while Maid Of Meft has to reverse form with our selection in order to win this. Cockney has questions to answer and hopefully he can answer his critics tonight.
