Leo McGarry can land his hat-trick at the expense of Mister Arjay and Lodgician. The selection ha been in winning form at Beverley and Nottingham recently and was able to win with a penalty last time and bids to win with one yet again. It was only on Friday that his last win came and if he shows no signs of jet lag then there is no reason why this progressive horse cannot win yet again. Mister Arjay has been running well all season. He won off a mark of sixty over course and distance back in June and now is off the same mark so if conditions suit he has a chance. As does Lodgician who has been frustratingly consistent of late finishing second on two occasions. He did win at Carlisle last month but has been put up a couple of pounds each time he has been beaten and is therefore up against it once again. So for the winner we return to Leo McGarry.
