Verdict

Arlecchino's Rock won over 6f at Chelmsford in October and found a mile too far on his first start for new connections here last month. ARBOURFIELD beat Twistsandturns over a mile here in September and has been running well over that trip subsequently though he's probably better over tonight's distance and Robbie Downey can steer him home. Captain Midnight was in fine form at this time last year and is gradually dropping to a winnable mark while Secret Path is the regular mount of Gary Halpin, who steered her to victory over the track and trip last month before finding 6f too sharp next time. Three Majors won over a mile here in September and has been racing exclusively over that trip recently but has enough pace to get involved under Ana O'Brien.
