The filly Arriana is penalised for her victory at Bellewstown in July. She's competed at a higher level subsequently though her last two runs here have been disappointing. BLACKBRIAR is similarly penalised for scoring over 6f at Cork in August after which she's competed at Group 3 level over that trip. She's led for much of the way in both and is handed the vote on her Polytrack debut. General Marshall was eight lengths behind the selection at Cork when conceding 5lb. He then ran well behind Toscanini on this track but has been beaten when odds-on for his next three starts including here last week. This will be his first start over the minimum trip and could find the selection has too much pace. Cleveland Street looks best of the remainder.
