Garlogs, Scooby Dude and Egyptian Lord look the three to concentrate on in this tight little handicap and the vote is given to Garlogs. The selection is well weighted on the turf compared to his all weather mark and although only third behind Miltons Choice last time he did well to get so close from a poor drawn and with no worries on that score here he is taken to bounce back to winning ways. Scooby Dude rates the main danger on his latest second behind Guto. That form has since been franked but he will do well to give weight and a beating to the well handicapped selection. Egyptian Lord won well last time out when beating Luloha but he will find this harder under his penalty in what looks a much more competitive affair. Terentia hails from a yard in form and this unexposed type is another to note in the market but the suspicion is he will be seen to better effect over a longer trip in time and with this in mind for the winner we return to Garlogs.
