Arkenstaar

9st 6lb

J: Connor Beasley

T: Michael Dods

He was gaining his first win away from Hamilton when landing a C&D handicap last October off a 2lb lower mark; promising return to action at his beloved Hamilton 19 days ago; that should have blown away any cobwebs and he rates a strong contender for a yard who could be hitting top gear judged on recent results.

J: Connor Beasley

One of his seven wins here came in this race two seasons ago; had the benefit of a run that year and record after this sort of break isn't overly encouraging; however, his course record is too good to ignore, he's on a competitive mark and goes on all ground.

Form & Verdict
Still has a better strike-rate on AW than on turf and losing run is mounting up; not disgraced last time (second start for new yard) but looks no certainty to take advantage of his attractive mark.

Has done most of his racing on the AW, winning five times at 7f/1m; was having only his third turf run when a good second at Newmarket on latest start last month (1m, good to firm; wore today's combination of headgear for first time), keeping on well after starting slowly when his blindfold came off late; interesting.
