It's hard to look past NEW ARRANGEMENT given the way he stuck to the task to win a better race than this at Hamilton when last seen out. The short lay-off since July isn't much of a concern at this stage and the New Approach gelding is fancied to give weight and a beating to the rest. Olaf won an ordinary claimer for a different yard at odds of 50/1 in his latest start and, while that was a poor race, the gelding was a ready winner that day. He might have more to offer and poses more of a threat to the selection than Summer Skies whose form in the book is disappointing given the latent strength in her pedigree. Lilly's Legacy makes some appeal on pedigree too.
