An uninspiring contest with Graylyn Ruby dropping down in distance after scoring over 2m at Lingfield. OGARITMO makes more appeal over today's trip on the back of a second at Bath and gets a tentative vote. Fair Comment finished in the money on the Turf at Lingfield last time with Turbulent Priest back in sixth while Walter De La Mare finished a couple of lengths ahead of Rowlestone Lass when a well-beaten runner-up at Bath recently and may also figure.
