Arctic Sea has won here in the past and ended the last campaign scoring at Bath from just 1lb lower. Charlie Arthur completed a hat-trick at Southwell last winter and bounced right back to form when headed right on the line over the track and trip earlier this month. The Crisfords remain in tremendous form and MYSEVEN added to their recent total with a convincing victory in a novices' contest at Lingfield. This doesn't look the toughest of handicap starts and she can take this before going on to better things. Brown Honey disappointed on soft ground at Chepstow after a narrow defeat on fast going at Haydock and has run well here in the past.
