It's hard to get away from RAAMMEE, who looked potentially smart when winning a couple of all-weather novices last summer and Roger Varian's 4-y-o can pick up from where he left off on handicap/turf debut. The obvious danger looks to be Saytarr, who has proved a revelation since joining James Horton and has Daniel Muscutt back on board (3-3 under that rider). Cogitate looks best of the rest.

About The Selections
RaceiQ Nap Of The Day
Saytarr The early 8-1 on offer from William Hill about Saytarr (they are also offering three places for each-way players) appeals. A 1lb rise for his fine effort at Ascot looks lenient and he is reunited with Dan Muscutt, who is 3/3 on him.
Alex Scott
Boyfriend Has been dropped 1lb for a very creditable run at Newbury on his reappearance (won second time out last season), and is worth taking on the favourite with race fitness and turf experience on his side.

Race Hints
Specific Pace Hint: In a race that lacks confirmed pace-forcers, Raammee could get the run of things: Of the better-fancied horses, Saytarr is most likely to be ridden furthest from the pace.
Individual Price Hint: Cogitate traded at 25% or less of Betfair SP and 50% or less of Betfair SP on 2 of its last 5 starts.
