Verdict
ARQALINA has been raised 10lb for winning at Ffos Las when stepped up to 3m. But there looked plenty more left in the tank and Venetia Williams’ mare can go in again as this doesn’t look a strong contest. Rule The Ocean has been threatening to score before a below par effort at Hereford while Sauvignon ran well in this grade at Uttoxeter earlier but struggled in a tougher race last time. Monet Moor finished closer over fences on her latest start but is 6lb higher reverting to hurdles while Hot Ryan may do better now handicapping for the first time.
