Hugo Palmer looks to have found a good opportunity for ARBALET despite the latter carrying a penalty for last year’s win at Redcar. He’s been competing in Pattern company without success subsequently and is hard to oppose back at this level with an official rating of 100. Dazzle Gold made a winning return at Musselburgh and looks next best unless Butterfly Lily improves having run well at Newbury despite finishing only sixth but the remainder look up against it.
