In depth
Verdict
ARCTIC ROAD continues to improve having won two of his last three outings including at Newcastle last time. A chance is taken he handles this faster ground. Potters Hedger placed at Plumpton last month but had strong claims at Warwick yesterday while Tempuran will handle the fast ground but remains unpredictable. Steel Wave slides further down the weights without yet showing any benefit while Legal Eyes may do better now handicapping for the first time.
