Palenville has every chance but has returned a losing favourite the last twice now while Doncaster winner Bint Arcano has not raced since September. Arize won over track and trip for the second time when successful last month and is upped only 2lb but a chance is taken on HYLAND HEATHER. Richard Fahey’s filly has slipped 5lb down the weights since landing a maiden over 6f at Redcar. She’s worth another try over today’s longer distance as she drops down a grade.
