Qaaraat will likely be more forward than most but he has a poor strike-rate and doesn’t have the best of draws. Arnold starts even wider on the track but two of his three career victories have come over course and distance. Astrophysics still looks high enough in the weights but Lydiate Lady knows where the winning post is and she gets good ground for the first time since second at Redcar last year. ATYAAF is only a couple of pounds higher than when showing a nice turn of foot to score here in August. This track clearly suits his style of running and he can land this.
