        Verdict

        Desert Arc seems to have been revitalised by the switch to Mark Brisbourne's stable and a 6lb penalty for his latest success should not stop the six-year-old from completing a hat-trick, with Prince of Blues and Playful Dane rated the main dangers. The ex-Irish Ulysees would have claims on his best but that is all on a softer surface than today so of more interest may be Friar Tuck, who is better than he showed at Hamilton on Tuesday and who had, until then, been holding his form well in similar company. The seven-year-olds College Maid and Danakim both warrant respect of their lightweights but a bigger threat to the selection is likely to come from Prince Of Blues. The six-year-old is set to go up 1lb in future weights following an improved effort at Chester last time when a two-length third behind Awake. He has to be respected along with the consistent Playful Dane but Desert Arc has been in the form of his life since joining his current connections and is hard to oppose.
