Runninglikethewind has plenty of improving to do if he's to figure but the remaining trio all have claims. Alcando needed only to be pushed out to score on his debut at Bath and with further progress expected, he makes more appeal than Beedee. The latter has run well since making a winning start at Chepstow without being good enough but ARTHURS SECRET looks up to landing this. He failed to get involved in a Listed event at Ascot last time but was an impressive winner on his introduction at Beverley and should come out best if running anywhere near that level today.
