Verdict
ARABIAN FLIGHT won a higher grade contest at Wolverhampton last week and is taken to defy a penalty. Eager To Bow landed a seller over 6f in August but will find this tougher while Wotalad went close over a mile here on his latest start. Random is the least exposed and can figure and Richard Hughes takes over the reins on Heinrich. Lead A Merry Dance is another to consider in a low grade lottery.
