Verdict
Airedale Lad looks the one to be with here and we will nominate him to get the better of Barneys Lyric and Arthurs Dream. The selection put up an improved effort behind Tirrol Livit at Market Rasen last time and in this grade with ground conditions very much to suit he should take all the beating today. Barneys Lyric disappointed last time at Perth but he is eased in grade today and he hails from a shrewd yard so he is certainly worth a look in the market. Arthurs Dream hung in the straight at Wolverhampton when last seen out on the flat but he had won in this grade previously and with this in mind he has to enter calculations. Pop Gun is another that looks sure to run his race here, but Airedale Lad showed enough last time to make him the one to beat today.
