Broad Appeal went close at Sandown last month and can figure again over this longer trip. ARCTIC SEA also ran at Sandown during the week but never recovered from an early stumble in one of these events. Simon Walker is on board once again for this and given Paul Cole’s charge won over 1m2f here earlier, he gets another chance. Banksy's Art posted a better effort in amateur company at Newbury last time while Rocksette won over a shorter trip at Lingfield recently but has been raised 12lb for her trouble.
