Present Lodger steps up in trip after wins here and at Musselburgh and Ayr - Lucinda Russell's charge may come up short this time. Beau Dandy is another with more on his plate than when scoring twice at Musselburgh but lightly-raced recent course and distance winner Dystonia's Revenge should be thereabouts, despite a 12lb higher mark. LORD BRENDY was given plenty to do when beaten by Achimota at Doncaster last time. He has the form to take this if claimer John Kington can keep him closer to the pace here.
