Formscan By Mark Nunan - ARSLAN has been odds-on when finding one too good on his last two starts but is taken to get the job done now. The Flat-bred was a creditable third at this track on hurdling debut and his mark of 120 sets the standard. Despite the fact that he will be more suited by better ground later in the spring, he can land an ordinary-looking contest. Front-runner Kentucky Beach was below-par last time and has a few pounds to find on ratings, but his solid handicap form makes him the main danger to the selection. Fixios shaped well over 2m4f on his only outing over hurdles and is open to improvement. %0A
