Verdict
PICK OF ANY seems an aptly-named choice in a low grade lottery. He’s tumbled down the weights and showed a bit more for Mike Appleby’s in-form yard when third at Kempton last time. Prince of Time is usually thereabouts but still searching for a first win while Lizzy's Dream has been getting nearer over 5f recently and is closely matched with Presto Boy on earlier running at Kempton. National Service and Tasaaboq won here last year and have both dropped back to winning marks.
