        Verdict

        Arlecchino's Arc bids for a hat-trick of course and distance wins though he beat Sharp Operator by only a neck last time so that pair are hard to separate. Mans Not Trot had Sea Shack back in fourth when scoring over a shorter trip at Wolverhampton but Luxford is preferred on her earlier second over track and trip. Muraaqeb narrowly beat Ronni Layne here last month and can also figure but the veteran CARVELAS is back on a winning mark having completed a double at the track in October and John Jenkins’ charge may be the one to side with.
