Arab League faced a stiff task at the weights when unplaced in a novices' handicap at Ascot last time and has stronger claims here. But he still has to give 6lb to OUTRAGEOUS REQUEST, who ran a nice race on his debut for Philip Hobbs at Cheltenham and should be capable of holding his own in decent company this winter. Daymar Bay had decent bumper form and should prove a lot better than he showed on his hurdles bow at Chepstow but it's difficult to see many of the others getting involved today.
