Presence Of Mind has been in good form of late over similar trips and is taken to make it three from his last four starts and score at the main expense of other last time out winners Twisted Logic, He's The Biz and Gallik Dawn. The last mentioned ran out the 19-length winner of a handicap at Uttoxeter earlier this month but less than half the field actually managed to complete the course that day so the form may be suspect. Twisted Logic is a capable of taking a hand but seems to reserve his best form for Exeter so of more interest may be He's The Biz, who is a progressive novice but has been hit hard by the handicapper for his latest defeat of Jack Of Spades. Top weight Lucky Bay has been given a chance having been dropped 9lbs since his mot recent start but has given little sign of encouragement of late and of more interest may be Sue Smith's Tipsy Mouse, who has been given a break since his latest start. The vote though goes to Presence Of Mind, who is less exposed than most of his rivals and remains potentially well treated.
