Arrowzone reappeared with a very easy victory in a Wolverhampton maiden when well supported. He's on a fair handicap mark and, with Billy Cray using his claim, another big run is anticipated. Shirocco Passion was a facile winner of a soft-ground nursery over 7f here in September but went up a massive 13lb and it could be his stablemate Tancred who does better this time as he produced his best run last season on soft going at Doncaster. Caridadi makes his handicap debut with a huge weight though there should be more to come this campaign as there should be from ALQUIMIA, who gets the nod. Richard Fahey has acquired the lightly-raced filly from Ed Dunlop for whom she ran well over 6f last season. This should be her trip and she's probably on a very fair mark. Latin Charm scored over the round mile on soft ground in October and this half-brother to five winners looks the main threat.
