FormscanBy John O'Riordan - ARABIAN KING can overturn recent Leopardstown form with Rich Belief at these revised weights. The Matthew Smith-trained gelding, a winner here over hurdles last month, remains unexposed on the level for new connections. His Leopardstown conqueror, Rich Belief, had been unlucky at Galway on his penultimate start so has to be respected. Anna Bunina is undeniably well handicapped back on the flat but has yet to prove she wants a trip in excess of 12f. If the John McConnell-trained six-year-old stays, then she will prove extremely difficult to beat. Tramore winner Barometer is well-in here, as he is due to go up an additional 2lb as a result of his easy success at the County Waterford track.
