Sidewinder finally opened his account with a win over course and distance and is upped 3lb but a chance is taken on the less exposed ARSENIO LUPIN, beaten only a neck at Nottingham on his handicap debut with further progress expected here. Thaaqib should be capable of better and Proud Archi won at Beverley before placing off a higher mark at Musselburgh.
