In depth
Verdict
ARCADIAN FRIEND was only beaten a nose upped to 2m at Lingfield and can go one better in this lower grade. Sea Appeal finished runner-up in one of these events at Wolverhampton and gets a change of rider while Capricorn Prince has been thereabouts over today’s distance lately, including a head defeat over track and trip in June. Longuerue’s success at Nottingham came over 1m2f while Caraghann has shown little since arriving from France.
