Mark Johnston has his team in good order at present and the Middleham handler can add to the season's gains with Think Tank while Arfinnit, High Voltage and Rigonza look best of the remainder. The selection made a highly promising debut when third in a similar contest over six furlongs at Newcastle earlier in the month. The son of Robellino stayed on well to be beaten a length behind a useful yardstick and this well related colt, who hails from the same family as Luso and Warrsan, should be much sharper for the experience. Arfinnit showed some ability on his initial start and looked to have learned from the outing when putting up a creditable effort at Haydock next time. Mick Channon's charge should continue to progress and rates a big danger while High Voltage and Rigonza both look capable of going close at this level on recent evidence. Garnock Venture makes some appeal on breeding and should be noted in the exchanges with Alan Berry's yard in fair form at present.
