B Associates has been making hay in Class 6 company and won again at Ayr recently. This is much tougher and stablemate Alpine Sierra is preferred in this grade after placing at the latter track last week. But ARTHUR’S REALM (NAP) returned to form when just failing to catch the progressive War In Heaven at Chelmsford and Ed Dunlop’s charge can make the trip up from Newmarket worthwhile by landing this lesser contest. Pisanello won on his last visit here back in May and is preferred to both Tilsitt and Shaladar.
