This is a fairly competitive handicap but, drawn in stall two, Arcanada is likely to be in the firing-line. Molivaliente isn’t badly drawn but the Kempton winner is having a first run on Turf. Sir Maximilian was a smart sprinter in his prime but tries 7f for the first time at the age of 10. Moraawed has been done no favours by the draw and ran a shocker at Newmarket last month. Richard Fahey runs three with two carrying the colours of Marwen Koukash. Paul Hanagan partners GABRIAL THE SAINT (NAP), who was going well off similar marks here in the spring and met trouble in-running last time. He’s preferred to the hat-trick seeking International Man and Penwortham.
