Wind surgery appears to have benefited ARBENNIG and he’s 6lb lower than when scoring at Fakenham around this time last year. With Will Featherstone claiming 10lb, he may be the pick of the weights in this. Somewhat Cloudy has taken well to chasing and still has a bit of scope but Duke Of Luckley has become disappointing and, having run in cheekpieces last time, is tried in a visor this evening. Martalmix'jac makes a quick reappearance having finished third at Stratford on Tuesday.
