Arnarson sets the standard off a mark of 77 but that was the case at Wolverhampton last time and he could only manage third. He steps back up in distance today but KYNREN is expected to improve past him. David Barron’s charge placed over 7f at Newcastle on his recent debut and also makes more appeal than the others with racecourse experience. Sacred Way, a 115,000gns purchase, and True Colors represent powerful northern yards and are newcomers to note.
