Not too many turn up in good form while the impressive form figures alongside Arkendale refer to exploits in the point-to-point arena. Jim Tango is one of the more consistent sorts on show but still remains 5lb higher than his last winning mark and therefore SPORTSREPORT is taken to inch Andrew Thornton one closer to the magical 1,000 winner mark. He remains a maiden under Rules but could well have put that right here last time when coming to grief three out and is deserving of another chance. Beauchamp Viking has each-way claims despite not having obliged since 2011, with similar sentiments applied to course and distance winner Apache Dawn.
