Verdict
ARZAAK may have finally fallen far enough down the weights to get his head back in front. Beaten only a neck at Southwell last week, he’s preferred to It Must Be Faith in a weak contest. The latter won over 6f here back in December and was narrowly beaten over the minimum trip at Chelmsford recently when finishing ahead of Solar Park. One One Seven has been well beaten in handicaps since winning a lowly classified event here and Independence Day returned a losing favourite at Newcastle last time.
