Arctic Reach sets the standard here on his second under a penalty at Market Rasen. Brendan Powell's gelding has been placed on the Flat since. But we are taking him on with SINADINOU, who would probably have finished closer on his debut over C&D but for a bad blunder at halfway. He will have learned from that and has nothing to fear from Red Zeus on that run. Flat winner Alfraamsey was third at Stratford last month but may again struggle for stamina, even on this sharp track.
