Formscan  - Arkenstaar could only manage fourth at Hamilton on his most recent start, but he was dropped 2lb for that effort and lurks on an appealing mark. Even so, BELTANE looks the way to go. Mark Walford's six-year-old stumbled leaving the stalls and ran too badly to be true when well beaten in a stronger event at Hamilton last time. This drop in grade, along with a 2lb lower rating, makes him the one to beat. Blufferonthebus completes the shortlist.
