Verdict
That's The Deal has won three times here but weakened quickly and was pulled up last time at Southwell after a string of placed efforts. Benability doesn’t look one to trust while winning pointer Troufion, placed only once in 10 runs under Rules, is returning from a lengthy lay-off. ARCTIC BEN is now a teenager but he’s 22lb lower than when scoring at Wetherby a year ago and will probably take all the beating if fully wound-up for his first start since September.
