Multiple C&D winner INGLEBY ARCH came up against a rejuvenated Dickie Le Davoir when failing to land the odds here three weeks ago. An apprentice allowance helps his cause and he can make amends. Fishforcompliments drops back in distance for his return to Fibresand but has yet to win on this surface, while Imprimis Tagula hasn't won at all since 2010, though eight of 12 previous victories came at this track. Chookie Avon went close over 7f here last month but has a bit to find on today's terms, as do the remainder including dual C&D winner Ace Of Spies.
