Verdict

Though he's had more racing than the rest of these, ARBALET was good enough to finish third in a Group 3 at Sandown in November, and now returning to novice company (having previously recorded an impressive success in a similar race), he should be very tough to beat. Recent Musselburgh winner Dazzle Gold and and Butterfly Lily can fill the places.
  1. Arbalet
