Race Tip

Favourite at the Epsom Derby last year ARREST (4) could prove too classy for his rivals on this seasonal reappearance. The Gosden-trained four-year-old finished an excellent second in the G1 St Leger Stakes when last sighted. May get the better of the likeable HAMISH (2) who maintains a remarkable winning record. Made it four in a row when successful in the G3 St Simon Stakes at Newmarket (Rowley) during November. Runner-up that day AL QAREEM (1) warrants respect. CHESSPIECE (6) could go close dropping in trip on first outing since finishing second in the Listed Troy Asset Management Noel Murless Stakes at Ascot.
