Despite the competitive nature of this event, if he reproduces the form he showed on handicap debut over C&D when second to a solid yardstick then FRANK ARTHUR can go one better. He has a likeable profile and off just a 3lb higher mark should be more than capable of building on that effort. Next best is Carrytheone who holds a similar profile but this opening mark is no gift after he shed his maiden over C&D last time. Strongbowe & Hightimeyouwon are worth chancing each-way after their recent disappointments given they were going the right way beforehand. So Suave would also hold place claims after appreciating the return to handicap company when last seen.
