Formscan - Mick Appleby knows the sort needed to win this and he runs Arklow Lad, winner of the 'Dash' at Epsom in June but last of 11 at Hamilton last month. He must not be written off just yet but TRILBY has won eight times, the vast majority on a softer surface, and an added 3lb for last week's success at Beverley may not stop a follow-up. Elara May and Black Star Boy could battle it out for minor money.
