In depth

Verdict

The booking of Denis O'Regan for SAM LORD may prove significant as his mount won twice over course and distance on ground with plenty of give last winter. He's 3lb lower today than the last of those and this looks an uncompetitive affair. Iktiview won here in May and had a recent pipe-opener on the Flat but Logical Approach looks too high in the weights and Honourable Gent is no certainty to confirm Kelso running with Dynamic Drive on 5lb worse terms. Mr Mistopheles was further behind at Kelso but was second here on fast ground in August.
