Taunton winner Duneen Point was well beaten off today's mark at Newton Abbot next time. Dark Glacier won over 3m here in December and got back to winning ways at Ffos Las but Wood Yer and Harris look to be in the handicapper's grip and course winner Mohi Rahrere is probably on a downward spiral. GREEN BANK ran Arkose to a head at Towcester last month, however, and should make a bold bid to go one better. He gets the nod though Sarika should do better for his run at Exeter and Southwell specialist High Ron can't be left out of calculations.
