Verdict
BLAIRLOGIE won this last year with Global Style back in third and winning partner Rab Havlin is back on board. Oscar Doodle has been in the mix in handicaps at Newcastle lately while Six Strings has won at this level in the past and finished closer at Bath last time. The three-year-old Opportunity Knocks posted her best effort so far at this track.
