It is eye-catching that CALL OF DUTY is tried at 7f after running over further last time out and Arjemis could be a contender after she kept on plugging away towards the finish at this course last time, whilst Fathey hasn't won since debut but this may be an opportunity to get back to winning ways. The selection didn't have enough stamina to hold off the challenges of Haljaferia and Winged Farasi at Pontefract over ten furlongs but had looked good until a couple of furlongs to go so this drop in trip is interesting. If running a similar race he could be the one to side with here. Arjemis has had some respectable wins this year and regarded on these merits could be the main danger to our pick. The run of The Hermitage in the previous race could provide a pointer to this contest after Arjemis was just a place behind her at this track previously. Fathey hasn't really looked like winning so far this year but wasn't far behind higher rated horses last time and with an improved run may be able to compete for the top honours. However, we give the nod to Call Of Duty.
