The veteran Scamperdale pops up at this level occasionally and Catchanova has a chance off his current mark. Yajber and Lisa's Legacy could figure if staying the longer trip but BLUE DEER proved 1m2f was within his compass when only beaten a head at Epsom last week. He gets the token vote in a poor handicap as recent Southwell maiden winner Exclusion is facing different conditions today. Motion Lass could prove best of the rest.
