FormscanBy Tom Weekes - RIVELLINO might be able to win from a light weight. He had already won seven times at this trip, once over today's course and comes here from a favourable handicap mark and is claimer ridden (his rider on November 24 didn't claim) today for the first time since his Laytown win in September. Alfredo Arcano has also won over this CD and comes here fit and well. He is a 3yo but has plenty experience and can also compete from his current rating. Naadirr was once rated 111 and while clearly not at that level recently, has nonetheless solid claims today. He ran well on turf on his most recent start although a possible concern could be he has only raced four times (and winning his maiden) on the all-weather and there is a possibility he may not be as effective away from grass.
