Walton Way looks the form pick here with Arceye and Freeline Fury both worth noting The selection carries a seven pound penalty for winning at Plumpton last time out. He had been in great form prior to that finishing in behind rival Arceye at Chepstow and looks weighted to reverse the placings now that Arceye has shot up in the weights for his successful six week stint. Freeline Fury needs a test of stamina and ideally rain softened ground but his third to Snoopy Loopy back in Feburary reads well and if repeating that effort is surely good enough for a place as he is forgiven being pulled up after only four fences at Chepstow on Friday as his saddle slipped on landing. But for the winner return to Walton Way.
