5/4

Two wins from 5 runs last year, storming clear in 7-runner handicap over this C&D 31 days ago. Hiked up 10 lb for that but could still have more to come, particularly on this surface.

13/2

Fifth of 6 in handicap at Lingfield (12f, AW, 11/2) 8 days ago, shaping as if needing the run after 4 months off. Cheekpieces on 1st time.

Form: 30844-5

Arabian King^t⁶⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: L Morris| T: J Ferguson| OR: 77| CD

11/2

Completed a hat-trick on this surface early last year. Not seen to best effect on return at Kempton and probably still needed the run at Wolverhampton last time. Not dismissed.

Forecasts

Notation (5/4), Mukha Magic (3/1), Arabian King (11/2), Summeronsevenhills (13/2), Chipiron (17/2)

NOTATION scored by a very wide margin in a fast time over C&D last month and could still have more to offer, particularly on this surface, so she looks capable of defying a 10 lb rise in the weights. Arabian King possibly still needed the run at Wolverhampton last time and is interesting now returning to fibresand having completed a hat-trick here early last year.
