Placed once from six starts so far but well held in handicap company the last twice including over C&D last time out. Others have a more obvious chance today.

Victorious over 1m here August and best effort since came on his first outing since being gelded when finishing fourth over 1m4f at Lingfield last month. One for the shortlist dropping in trip.

Arlecchino's Arc16

Stepped up on the form he'd shown as a juvenile when finishing fourth of ten over C&D last time out. Interesting to see if he can back that up in this contest.

Well held in two novice contests and a maiden but fared better despite experiencing trouble in running when finishing fifth on handicap debut over 1m at Lingfield last time.

Forecasts

Four Fifty Three (5/2), Reverberation (7/2), Casima (5/1), Arlecchino's Arc (13/2), Miniature Daffodil (8/1), Gemologist (12/1), Ruby's Gem (14/1), Mandarin Princess (14/1), Boniface (16/1)

Verdict

FOUR FIFTY THREE looks likely to appreciate the drop in trip today and he can claim his second career success here having won over 1m here in August last year. Of the selections rivals today top weight Reverberation can finish second on his first attempt at this trip while Arlecchino's Arc can follow up his solid effort over C&D last time out by finishing third today.
  1. Four Fifty Three
  2. Reverberation
  3. Arlecchino's Arc
