Verdict

Arlecchino's Arc finally opened his account when scoring over track and trip last month and is only 2lb higher but Mullarkey and Cold Fire failed to figure on their latest starts having both won at Kempton before that. Castle Talbot has yet to win on the all-weather but can race off a lower mark than when scoring at Yarmouth in August but BLYTON LASS makes most appeal in this. She won over course and distance in September and a recent close-up fourth back here suggests James Given’s filly will be winning again soon.
