Verdict
Charlie Arthur can race off a much lower mark on Turf though never threatened at Newbury last time and WHITWELL is preferred. The latter finished in front of Cusack when going close over track and trip last month and also had the measure of Ooh La Lah when placed at Carlisle last time. Poster Child will be sharper for a recent reappearance and won off a higher mark when trained in Ireland.
