In depth
Verdict
Tebay and Lady Of York won their penultimate starts but could only manage a place last time and both are higher in the weights today. The former beat the re-opposing Cat Royale when winning here last month but it could be the turn of ARLECCHINO’S ARC again. Mark Usher’s charge found the 1m4f at Kempton too far last time but had won over course and distance in December and is only 2lb higher for this. Loveheart finished closer at Wolverhampton on her reappearance but Decoration Of War has plenty to prove over this far.
