Going - Yielding. Dry - light rain from before R2

Formscan By Tom Weekes - Nine-year-old ARCLAND has won just twice but has been in good form recently. Runner-up six times including on four occasions this year, he would ideally prefer a stiffer test of stamina and was beaten seven lengths on his latest hurdle outing but today’s rider’s 7lb claim is a help. Three of Must Meet Cecil’s five wins have come in claiming hurdles but he has also competed well in handicaps recently and should get involved at the business end. Mic Drop met some trouble in-running when finishing behind Must Meet Cecil at Kilbeggan earlier this month and will appreciate this slightly longer trip.
