This looks a very competitive sprint but it’s impossible to ignore the in-form Arcanada, who won over track and trip in June and was second here under Poppy Fielding off today’s mark last month. Second Collection has also been going well here but Spirit Of May seems best on the all-weather and Walk On Walter has an absence to overcome. A Sure Welcome and Magical Ride were just behind Arcanada three weeks ago but BELATED BREATH may be worth forgiving a poor performance that day as Hughie Morrison’s mare is starting to look very well treated on last year’s form and usually runs well on this track.
