Verdict
Both of IN ARREARS’ victories under Rules have come around here and he has been running into a bit or form lately. Dropped a further 3lb today, he will also be helped by his rider’s 7lb claim. Ballybreen looks a big danger having recorded a first victory at Hereford earlier this month. Kiwi Myth reappeared with a win at Fontwell and was then third at Plumpton while Arqalina wasn’t beaten far at Leicester after making a winning start over fences at Ffos Las and remain unexposed over the larger obstacles. Despite a 5lb rise, Taunton winner Great Tempo is probably still on a decent mark so is also respected. Mount Oliver will have needed his run at Taunton and may be best of the rest.
