Arctic Echo can follow up his course and distance debut win, mainly at the expense of Italiano and, possibly, Barrow Brook. The selection stormed to victory on his debut and connections seem to have found a fairly soft option for him in his bid to follow up. Of the others, Impact Crusher, Victor One and Lost And Found have interesting Flat breeding, while Sue Smith's runners always have to be respected in this sphere so watch the betting with regard to Barrow Brook's chances, and Italiano has nearly 14 lengths to find based on his debut run behind the selection. Overall, then, it is hard to get away from the chances of Arctic Echo and, accordingly, he is the selection.
