      Verdict

      Arena's Dream is the choice to land the opener with Samuel Charles and Pab Special put forward to fill the placings. Arena's Dream has disappointed recently but the step back to 8F is likely to suit. With Jamie Spencer aboard today he is likely to make a bold bid to land this claimer. Samuel Charles bids for the hat-trick here and his hold up style is suited to the track. He has to be thereabouts but is vulnerable against a rival open to slight improvement. Pab Special comes into calculations according to the ratings but is another who was disappointing last time when market leader. This does appear his grade though and he is likely to be competitive. Green Pirate is another that has to be considered. He failed to get involved when stepped up in grade last time, following a win in a Wolverhampton seller on his penultimate start. He was well backed for that win and the market should prove the best guide to his chances here. Arena's Dream is the choice over Samuel Charles and Pab Special.
