In Arrears has dropped to a fair mark and had a pipe-opener but his only victories under Rules have come in hunter chases at Exeter, though he did finish ahead of Kiwi Myth at that track at the start of the year. EATON MILLER found only the gambled-on Ecossais too good on his reappearance over a similar trip at Southwell and can be expected to improve for that run. Misty Mai was back to her best at Ffos Las last month and will be thereabouts if in the same mood while it would be no surprise to see Dont Be Robin plod on into a place.
