Arkaim finally got off the mark at Towcester on Tuesday. This looks a similar heat so Gina Andrews' mount has to go on the short-list. Lean Burn would have a great chance on his form earlier in the campaign while Rare Coincidence rolled back the years to finish second in a Catterick seller last month, though doesn't look the ideal ride for an inexperienced pilot. Bach On Tow must have some sort of chance but BROTHER SCOTT produced a much-improved display to finish third at Doncaster last month. Sue Smith has booked the talented Samantha Drake for this and he looks the one to beat.
