ARNHEM wasted no time getting back to form when narrowly denied at this C&D 13 days ago, beaten only by an unexposed type on all-weather, so he could be ready to get back to winning ways in this slightly lower grade. He is preferred to 4-time C&D winner Castan, while Mission Command remains lightly raced on artificial surfaces and is also considered.
