Verdict

Arcanista is only a pound higher than when just beaten under Nicola Currie at Kempton and should make a bold bid to break her duck. Fashionable Spirit can't get much lower in the weights but has become very disappointing while Sacred Harp is 0-12 and has never sparkled over this trip. DREAM ALLY makes a quick reappearance after finishing third at Newcastle on Saturday. Though he's better on Tapeta, this is a weak contest and he should be thereabouts if the quick turnaround doesn't prove detrimental.
