ARABIC CHANNEL never figured over 7f at Galway last time but an earlier length defeat over today’s trip at Fairyhouse is better form than anything the opposition have managed so far and the Irish raider should go close in first-time headgear. Cheerupmylove disappointed last time after placing over 5f at Redcar but Collegian can only improve and is preferred to stablemate Cognac Blue. Samlesbury, Hello Youmzain and Chasing The Rain are all newcomers to keep an eye on for any support in the betting.
