Plenty of these arrive in top form including Krujers Girl, who was always travelling nicely when scoring at Fakenham for which she's been raised 8lb. The veteran Westend Theatre got up close home at Newcastle though was receiving 19lb from the runner-up but ARQALINA may be good enough to get back on the winning trail. A comfortable winner at Hereford, she couldn't handle an 8lb rise at Leicester next time but led for a long way and may be capable of hanging on. Cash Again won over hurdles at Sedgefield but was narrowly beaten over fences under a big weight here in October so isn't out of this.
