A wide open handicap where a chance is taken with the potentially well-treated ARACHNOPHOBIA. Partnered by the on form jockey Richard Hughes the pick is well treated based on his runaway win at Wolverhampton in March so although he has failed to take advantage of similar good opportunities he seemed back to form at Newmarket last time. Mustakmil looked in need of his return run and should show more this time with William Buick a strong jockey booking. Kiss A Prince got up late over seven furlongs at Lingfield last time so the step up in trip looks ideal while Warning Song is consistent and should run his race again. A tough puzzle but the one to be feared is Arachnophobia.
