Nothing rock-solid in this weak race so it might be worth chancing ARISEA given her good recent hurdling form. The selection has her first start for Paul Murphy this afternoon and her first on the Flat for 1244 days. She was last seen finishing second to Olivino at Newton Abbot over hurdles and with Steven Craine booked today she is nominated. Stormy Summer has shown ability here before but he is not too consistent and cannot be fully trusted, All Guns Firing is flattered by his official rating of 70 judging by recent runs but is considered in such a weak race, whilst Oke Bay tries the blinkers after a poor latest effort here. Mister Frosty is another who has struggled to put two good runs together in a row, however a proven ability to act on the surface is in his favour. Haka Dancer and Distant Florin are two more to consider.
