Charlie Arthur won easily over a longer trip at Southwell recently though saves his best for the Fibresand and can race off a lower mark back on this surface. He finished behind PARTY ISLAND in February when the latter scored at Kempton under today’s apprentice and dropping down in class for this, Denis Coakley’s charge gets the vote. Hot Team should take advantage of a tumble down the weights before long while Francisco Bay returns to action with a shout off his current mark.
