Verdict

CAUSEY ARCH scored with something to spare over the Musselburgh mile recently and should have plenty more to offer as that success came on just a sixth career start. This additional distance should not inconvenience and he is taken to confirm form with the runner-up that day, Toffee Apple, despite meeting his old rival on 5lb worse terms. But the latter has place claims as she is also relatively lightly-raced, whilst Big Red is another to take note of after an improved performance last time when runner-up to the progressive Theydon Thunder at Yarmouth. Almuhalab remains a maiden at five years of age but hasn't done too badly since joining Ruth Carr from Charlie Hills and may yet come good.
