Perfect Arch^p⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-2| J: Bruce Lynn⁽³⁾| T: S G West| OR: 85

22/1

Still a maiden but he wasn't disgraced on his yard debut when third of 5 in Flat handicap at Catterick (13.9f, soft) 7 days ago. No forlorn hope back in this sphere.

10/1

Tongue strap/cheekpieces on for the first time when a good fourth of 16 in handicap hurdle (9/1) at Kelso (20.9f, good) 30 days ago. One to consider with few miles still on the clock.

20/1

In good form of late, sixth of 10 in handicap hurdle over C&D (good) 15 days ago. Can give another good account off a 2 lb lower mark.

Forecasts

Supreme Yeats (4/5), Misty Mani (6/1), Summergrounds (13/2), Kosasiempre (10/1), Boot 'n' Shoe (10/1), Warner's Cross (16/1), My Portia (20/1), Perfect Arch (22/1), Indian Sunbird (80/1), Leading The Way (125/1)

A competitive handicap but it's hard to side against Dan Skelton's new recruit SUPREME YEATS who still looks ahead of his mark under a 4 lb penalty for his stylish Stratford success. C&D scorer Summergrounds heads the list of dangers, although a good case can also be made for course-winners Misty Mani and Kosasiempre and in-form duo My Portia and Boot' N' Shoe.
