Sharaarah ran a shocker at Southwell during the week considering she'd won at the same track before that. Rivellino remains 5lb higher than when last winning though has scope for further improvement and makes more appeal than Cheworee. Jay Bee Blue never threatened from a wide-draw at Lingfield last week but is not easily dismissed and neither is recent 7f winner Al's Memory. ARCTIC FEELING was expected to finish closer than fifth here a week ago given he'd been placed behind the progressive Forest Edge over track and trip earlier. Richard Fahey's charge gets another chance in this.
