      Verdict

      ARBEO may not have beaten much at Fontwell in January but could hardly have been more impressive and it would be no surprise if he was good enough to defy his penalty in this. Warren Greatrex often sends his best prospects to this track for experience so Getway Drive would have to be noted if attracting market support as he's a half-brother to a winning hurdler. Motou should improve on his initial run at Warwick and preferred to Colin Tizzard's King's Theatre newcomer Kings Lad of the remainder.
