ARTHUR'S GIFT looks the safest option to side with in here. His run over C&D last time was a promising effort and he should go close again with a talented conditional in the saddle, despite a rise in the weights from the handicapper. Craig Star was running a big race last time out before unseating in the closing stages and it would be no surprise to go close back up in trip while Stonemadforspeed should give it a good go from the front and may hang on for a place.
