Arnold appeared to find the 7f at Ayr beyond him last time but was beaten only a neck over today’s trip at Thirsk earlier with Kroy back in fifth and has claims on that form. TERMSNCONDITIONS continued his good progress with another narrow-margin win at Lingfield last month. Tim Vaughan’s colt may not have finished improving yet and he gets the vote to land a hat-trick. Newcastle winner Little Kingdom failed to cope with a 5lb rise last time and Urban Spirit is preferred dropping back down to 6f.
