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.

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.

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%	9/2
