Arkaim had been running well over shorter trips before a below-par effort last time but may find today's distance beyond him and Absolute Princess makes more appeal. She improved for the step up to 1m3f when runner-up here three weeks ago and another bold bid looks likely. However, OVERRULE can boast stronger recent form as he had a subsequent dual winner behind when scoring here last month and found only Magic Millie, who has since won again, too good over C&D on his latest start on the level. Brian Ellison's charge looks the one to beat on that evidence with the veteran Dunaskin possibly best of the rest.
