A tough puzzle to solve and MAGGIE MEY is no more than a token selection. David O'Meara's filly won on similar ground at Redcar in June and can race off the same mark as when second at York a month later. Jonny Lesters Hair is a consistent sort at this level, while Sir George would have claims on his second over C&D last month but finished behind Tim Easterby's charge at Redcar last time. Imaginary World also warrants a second look as he's keeping better company than this in the main and is rarely beaten far. He was, however, behind Maggie Mey at Haydock in July and is worse off at the weights now. Tribal Myth has yet to win away from Beverley, so the once-useful Dream Lodge may prove the pick of the remainder.
