Arabian King won over today’s trip at Chelmsford in August while Soros has been thereabouts recently having won on the all-weather at Southwell early in the year. Zillion scored on soft going at Chepstow back in April but Tin Fandango is a more recent winner having landed a lower grade contest on testing going at Lingfield. The veteran BE MY SEA has been in the mix at this level since landing a double during the summer and Tony Carroll’s charge may prove the one to side with on the back of a placed effort at Ffos Las.
