Jeremy Noseda's excellent strike rate on the Polytrack here points to ARCADIAN LEGEND. She showed signs of inexperience on her debut at Yarmouth but knuckled down well as the race progressed to finish third. She's just preferred to Lars Krister, who occupied the same finishing position at Wolverhampton on his introduction. Imperial Spirit has had plenty of chances but the newcomers Violetgrace and Copper Trade won't need to be anything special to get involved.
