      Verdict

      Arresting can give weight all round and score his hat-trick here at the expense of Jamaaron and Lord Oscar. This race will not take much winning for Arresting if he stands up after his two wins. He looked good when getting the better of Acceleration at Perth last time out and although the handicapper has taken note he should have no problems giving weight all round. Jamaaron comes from a yard doing really well at present and his third at Newton Abbot over the same distance last time out reads well. He looks a horse going the right way at present and is one to note in the betting. As is Lord Oscar who reverts back to the smaller obstacles after pulling up over fences last time out. But for the winner we return to Arresting.
