Sir Arthur Dayne ran well stepped up to a mile at Ayr and is back in the right grade here. He is the most exposed of these, however. ARABIAN MOON is also dropped in class after a fair second over 7f at Doncaster. The winner ran well under a penalty at Newmarket last week so Ralph Beckett’s colt can make a winning start in handicaps. Wild Hero looked ready for a step up in trip at Chester last month when taking on three previous winners and a similar comment applies to Redcar third Talap.
