Ballyare finished runner-up when last seen over track and trip and has gone close on Turf subsequently. Slowmo placed over the minimum trip at Wolverhampton a fortnight ago while Arnold is usually thereabouts here but has yet to score on the all-weather. Arcavallo finally showed some improvement for a slide down the weights when beaten a length at Hamilton but LORD OF THE GLEN (NAP) went close again here just three days ago having won over track and trip before that and looks worth sticking with in his current form.
