Arcanada won at Chester in June and made all at Doncaster earlier this year. He could go well at the head of affairs from a low draw and give BANKSEA something to aim at. The latter drops back in trip but Luca Cumani’s colt is the speculative selection with several of the leading fancies drawn high. That list includes recent Newmarket winner Oh This Is Us and last month’s Ascot winner Bobby Wheeler. Another Touch also has a high stall number having won in this grade at HQ last time when Twin Sails was third. Irish raider Markhan is another drawn high while compatriot Spruce Meadows has an 11lb hike to contend with after scoring at Galway recently.
