Verdict

With Soldier In Mayo's participation in doubt (declared at Southwell on Thursday), this may be best left to ILLOGICAL LOGIC, who made the perfect start for new connections at Cartmel recently and remains very well treated following a 3 lb nudge.

5	Went one better than he had on his final outing for Christian Williams to provide his owner with a second success in 11-runner handicap chase at Cartmel (21f, good) just under 5 weeks ago. Very well treated on his best form from 3 lb higher so could well follow up. 1st Pick 5 Illogical Logic (Fr) Jockey: Ellis Collier Trainer: David Thompson J: Ellis Collier T: David Thompson	100	-	-	-	40%

2	Point winner who found some improvement to make a successful handicap hurdle debut in May 2025, showing a good attitude. Shaped well sent chasing when runner-up to a well-handicapped rival back at Bangor (2½m) on return last month and is open to improvement. Engaged 2.15 Southwell Thursday. 2nd Pick 2 Soldier In Mayo (Ire) Jockey: Theo Gillard Trainer: Donald Mccain J: Theo Gillard T: Donald Mccain	97	-	-	-	63%

4	Had been one to treat with caution but gained a third win from last 4 starts at Huntingdon (2½m, good) in May. Unseated his rider after 3 months off at Stratford in August and possibly still needed the outing back there (23f, good to firm) last month. Handicapper drops him 2 lb. 3rd Pick 4 Jack Doyen (Ire) Jockey: Jack Quinlan Trainer: Ben Case J: Jack Quinlan T: Ben Case	96	-	-	-	19%
