Formscan - ARREST finished last season in fine form, with a victory here in the Geoffrey Freer and a highly-creditable second in the St Leger behind subsequent Arc de Triomphe fifth Continuous. With an entry for the Yorkshire Cup next month, the strapping son of Frankel can take this en route to York, with the top-rated Hamish looking best placed to chase him home, despite a 3lb penalty. William Haggas' veteran is unbeaten in his last four starts and ground conditions should be in his favour as he looks to uphold form with Al Qareem (second) from a Group 3 at Newmarket in November.
