Plenty with claims in the opener though Goodwood Showman has been raised 5lb for winning at Kempton and Arctic Sea faces a tougher task after making all over track and trip. Agar's Plough has yet to win anywhere and is upped 3lb for finishing runner-up at Chelmsford while Robin Weathers and Al Reeh were both placed at Nottingham on their respective latest starts. But the handicapper has taken a chance dropping THE WARRIOR (NAP) a further 2lb given he wasn’t beaten far in a Class 3 handicap at Kempton a week ago and a similar effort should see Amanda Perrett’s charge go close.
