In depth
Verdict
OKEANOS is still improving and won a higher grade race over 7f here last time. He looks worth another try over this longer trip. Arlo's Sunshine won at Yarmouth recently and has scored off higher marks on the all-weather while Inexplicable makes a quick reappearance having found one too good here earlier in the week with a below par Dew You Believe well beaten. Mudlahhim has plummeted down the weights in the last year but looks no nearer winning.
