ARTIC LYNX is not particularly well treated in this claimer but ticks more boxes than most. He won handicap over track and trip last month and is preferred to Scoreline, a course and distance winner in December but well beaten by Yair Hill over 6f since. Today's minimum trip is a big worry for the latter while the veteran Red Cape will probably be better for today's return to action and the same comment applies to Decent Fella. Secret Millionaire looks best of the rest on his third in a seller here last month.
