Verdict

An unappealing event for betting purposes although Arnold would be high on the shortlist if connections go for a quick return to the course under a penalty. This course is a sharper test than Beverley though he may be found wanting in the closing stages. Plenty of pace setters here with the main ones being Crosse Fire and Coiste Bodhar and the drop to 5f may well suit the former if he can beat off the other quick types. Life For Rent enters the mix if he can repeat his Ripon runner-up slot with IMPERIAL LEGEND the overall suggestion in the hope that he can get away on something like level terms this time.
  1. Imperial Legend
  2. Arnold
  3. Crosse Fire
