Bodie is preferred to Dubai Glory and On Wings Of Love, but after nine runs without success he looks vulnerable to a more progressive type and a couple of today's rivals fit the bill. Brilliant Barca showed promise under a 7lb claimer when second at Lingfield on last month's debut and looks likely to have a say in the finish, but ARIZONA HIGH gets the vote. Andrew Balding's charge improved to finish fourth at Wolverhampton last week and with this longer trip sure to suit he can make Jimmy Fortune's first ride of 2011, and only ride at the meeting, a winning one.
