Arizona Bound has slipped to his lowest-ever mark in a handicap and is an interesting contender in this. Pena Dorada was second at Hexham last week and won at Cartmel in July. Perth winner Spinning Scooter should appreciate this drop back in distance and Dun Faw Good also has a squeak but Samtu has been hard to predict since landing a four-runner race at Musselburgh in February. PACKETTOTHERAFTERS wasn’t disgraced at Bangor on his return to action and first run following wind surgery and any improvement on that would put him in the firing-line.
