Arrowzone won over a shorter trip here last month before going close again when finishing in front of King Oswald. He can figure in his current form but POWER HOME is preferred. The latter just failed to catch the winner over 1m2f at Lingfield last week and can race off the same mark today. Gembari has a shout returning to this longer distance with a recent comeback run under his belt but Raven's Raft remains 7lb higher than when scoring over course and distance earlier last month. Whatwouldyouknow has gone close again since landing a double and makes most appeal of the remainder.
