CAUSEY ARCH bids for a treble under a penalty but he beat a subsequent winner at Ayr last time with the rest nowhere. Michael Dods’ charge may well be good enough and is just preferred to recent Newbury winner Bluff Crag. The latter should be in the mix once again and Al Nasser Alwashik may get involved on his handicap debut. Auxiliary won over 7f off a higher mark last season and is another to consider dropping down a grade for this.
