Verdict

WELD ARAB was pulled up at Uttoxeter last time but the underfoot conditions there wouldn't have suited him at all, and on his form of last summer he looked certain to win a handicap or two when the ground quickened up. He'll strip fitter for that run and in an wide open race, is the suggestion. Money Talks, My Boy James, Grams And Ounces, Get Rhythm and Zenafire all hold chances on bits of form and the advice is to keep stakes small with so many contenders for top honours.
  1. Weld Arab
  2. My Boy James
  3. Get Rhythm
