Formscan  - ARLECCHINO'S REX was well beaten into fifth at Epsom, but the handicapper continues to loosen his grip and Mark Usher's gelding now lurks on an appealing mark. The son of Belardo looks to have been found a suitable assignment and can return to winning ways. Brother Dave made the frame in a classified stakes at Newcastle and is an interesting contender back in the handicap ranks. Of the remainder, Aspire To Glory makes the most appeal.
