In depth

Verdict

Arbeo showed little last season but is well treated now as a result. He would go very close if back to his best while Roll The Dice is another well handicapped on the pick of his form. Alanjou won over course and distance last month but has another 7lb to carry today, though is still preferred to the inconsistent George Nympton and Morestead. ITOLDYOU lacks a recent run but made giant strides in the spring, winning twice around here and finishing third in a decent contest at Kempton in April off today's mark. He gets the vote as soft ground isn't a problem and he's getting 4lb from Dont Do Mondays.
