Verdict
A competitive handicap but ARKENSTAAR makes most appeal having been third in this race last year. He's back down to a workable mark and may take this on his return. Power of Gold can also go well fresh and he's feasibly treated on reappearance, while Partisan Hero is respected in his bid for a hat-trick, and he could be dangerous if able to dictate from the front.

VerdictFourteen runs since last win in 2023 but failed to justify support when visored for first time, tenth of 12 in handicap (9/2) at Nottingham (8.3f, heavy) last November, too keen to do himself justice. Will need to settle better on his return.
