Two wins this season, the latter when prevailing by a neck at Ayr (1m5f, good) last month; untested on turf slower than good but could plausibly have untapped potential over 2m; respected.

Much better known as a hurdler now and was soundly beaten on latest Flat start in April; first past the post (demoted to second) in hurdle race here in May but not seen again since; might be of greater interest once back over jumps and with today's run under his belt.

Verdict

This can go to ARTHALOT, who was nicely clear of the third when going close in a Class 5 C&D event two weeks ago and might be seen to even better effect on today’s forecast slower ground. King Charles has already won twice this summer and may provide the main threat. Alramz has been in pretty good form over hurdles this summer and looks quite interesting on his return to the Flat.[Chris Wilson]
