Verdict
SEVEN NATION ARMY has been finding one too good but his luck should change here. He's come up against some useful novices and, despite his form figures, there isn't a lot wrong with his attitude. Global Thrill has ability but may do better when tackling handicaps while Arantes continues to be let down by his jumping. Plumpton bumper winner Act Now has yet to race on ground this fast but Pengo's Boy should handle conditions and has place prospects.
