MOUNT LOGAN comes out best on ratings and is also arriving here on the back of a really good effort last time in a Group 3 at Haydock over this trip. He was clear of the remainder that day and, with new headgear now, could have more to give making him hard to oppose. Midterm has plenty talent and would rate a big danger if able to find his best stuff while dual Listed scorer Ayrad is also noted sporting cheekpieces for the first time.
