The consistent Logi won over today’s trip at Ayr last month and is preferred to Storm Ahead, who went close over a mile at Thirsk. Lady In Question is usually thereabouts and finished runner-up at Epsom recently but a chance is taken on SARYSHAGANN. The latter missed the whole of last year and having tumbled 15lb down the weights this season, David O’Meara’s grey gets a speculative vote in first-time headgear. He’s preferred to Twin Appeal and Mango Chutney while the progressive Pickett's Charge is upped in class after landing a hat-trick. Round The Island and Hitman are others to consider in something of a lottery.
