Verdict
A number of this field arrive here in good form and we will nominate Arfinnit to get the better of Croeso Bach and Fastrac Boy. The selection won well over this course and distance last time out when beating Rocker. He is bang in form at present, he again has the cheek-pieces on and he goes well for Kirsty Milczarek so he looks the one to beat. Croeso Bach also won over this course and distance last time and she remains open to further progress, but she was all-out to score last time and she had the run of the race. Fastrac Boy has been knocking on the door of late but he keeps finding one too good, and he has perhaps become a victim of his own consistency. One Way Ticket loves it here but Milton Bradley's runners are badly out of form and we prefer the claims of Arfinnit as the selection.
