BEN ARTHUR hasn't taken to fences this season but he's respected returned to this sphere and should have no issue seeing out this trip. Final Fling's win over course and distance last time was impressive and could be effective off his revised mark. Mad For Action hasn't shown a great deal in three hurdles starts but his trainer has an excellent record at this course and he's respected on handicap debut.
