Arnold was ending a long losing run when scoring over track and trip earlier in the month but was due to run here yesterday. ATYAAF went close at Bath last time but has won off today’s mark here in the past and may be the one to side with. Sam's Call may improve in a first-time visor while Archimedes won this back in 2019 and Burtonwood scored here last summer. Lancashire Life debuts on Turf having failed to win after six starts on the all-weather.
