The only three-year-old in the field, Thatsthefinest, is penalised for winning at Lingfield last week. Arzaak has been thereabouts over the minimum trip in similar contests recently while Jack Ryan has placed over 7f the last twice but WESTERN MUSIC gets another chance back at this level. The latter landed a handicap over track and trip last month and would have finished closer at Newcastle last time with a clear run.
