Arctic Reach's win in a claimer at Stratford was his first of any description and the form of that race hasn't worked out. He looks vulnerable under a penalty here and much more interesting is Irish raider COOL NEWPORT, who jumped well when scoring on her debut over hurdles at Ffos Las and is less exposed. She can follow up here though Little O J is sure to improve on his fifth here just over three weeks ago and comfortably has the beating of Arizona High on that run. Newcomer Countrywide Flame, who won three times on the Flat, is also worth a second look.
