Verdict

The drop in trip is a slight worry with Arctic Glow and so we will give the vote to Rosetown, with Malmo Bay also worth consideration. The selection is also taking a step down in distance after winning over three miles and two furlongs last time, however he was successful twice last season over this sort of trip and looks set to go close despite top-weight. Arctic Glow's victory came in a seller at Taunton last month, comfortably beating Silver Charter. That was an improved performance and she is weighted to go close again. Malmo Boy was also in the winners enclosure last time after beating Lucky Pete by a very easy ten lengths at Plumpton. He had shown nothing before then but if that wasn't a flash in the pan he should be in the shake up. John Upson's Cleymor House went close last time and may prove best of the remainder, but Rosetown is a versatile performer where the trip is concerned and gets a narrow vote
