Verdict
Cheekpieces are added to a hood and tongue-tie on ARTHAMINT after he continually jumped right over a longer trip here eight days ago. If he steers a straighter course, Dan Skelton's charge could finally get his head in front again at the main expense of Thoonavolla, who won four times between the flags but is still a maiden under Rules and likely to be a short price after hiss second at Leicester. Urban Gale and Kilcascan over track and trip in November but has become hard to predict. Foot The Bill's last win came off a 6lb higher mark but he doesn't look the force of old.
