Formscan  - SPARTAN ARROW returns to handicap company for the first time since finishing a close second in the Epsom Dash in June. The subsequent winner of a Group 3 at Dundalk, Archie Watson's charge holds every chance in a competitive contest. Rhythm N Hooves has finished thereabouts off similar marks of late. He looks a bigger threat in this grade than Alligator Alley, who is upped in class after scoring here on Monday.
