Arcanears is running well enough to feature having finished runner-up over the track and trip last month though he was drawn 3 that day and is in 23 this time. MOKHALAD (NAP) makes a quick reappearance after staying on strongly over the minimum at Tipperary on Thursday. He'd won over this track and trip earlier and is running so well he'll take the beating. Silverkode is a smart handicapper over an extra furlong though hasn't run since October but Heavenly Rainbow was having only his sixth start when staying on nicely over the minimum at Navan and is at the right end of the handicap. Sharp Defence hasn't won for a very long time and has changed stables but is quite well handicapped back on Turf.
