Irish raider The Dukes Arch appears to be running into form and the handicapper has given her a chance while Carnac and Tivers Song are closely matched on their running behind Stanley Rigby here earlier this month. Yossi is hard to win with these days and the vote goes to MAGIC HAZE, who stood little chance here on his return from a five month absence behind the progressive Dontpaytheferryman but still finished best of the rest. Sally Hall's charge will take the beating with that run likely to have put him spot on for this.
