It's anybody's guess which one of this bunch will be in the mood but ARASHI went close over track and trip earlier in the month and gets a token vote. Layline was not beaten far at Southwell recently and Bernisdale can be given a chance back on the level. High Office never threatened in a Lingfield seller last time but still finished ahead of Noguchi while Lacey is not out of this if at his best and is preferred to Ted Dolly.
