Arkenstaar
He was gaining his first win away from Hamilton when landing a C&D handicap last October off a 2lb lower mark; promising return to action at his beloved Hamilton 19 days ago; that should have blown away any cobwebs and he rates a strong contender for a yard who could be hitting top gear judged on recent results.

From the connections
“We'll aim to go back to the track as Arkenstaar has never run a bad race there. I thought he showed a great attitude because he was being attacked from both sides. My biggest concern when speaking to Connor [Beasley, jockey] before was that there didn't look like there'd be any pace on, and he grinds it out more than anything. I'm really pleased with him, though - Michael Dods, trainer.”
