    Race Analysis

    ARCADIA KNIGHT (2) was out of the money when resuming two runs back then again missed the frame last start when he got a long way back over 1m1f at Ascot, beaten 4 lengths into seventh. Clint Johnston-Porter gets the best out of this five-year-old gelding. Meeting a deeper field this time but he is good enough to play a major role. MR TALENTINO (9) proved too strong two runs ago at this track. Safely held last time out when seventh over 1m1 1f at this track, beaten 7 lengths after being in the firing line on the bend. Meets a stronger field but he is capable of running a bold race. WILD IMAGINATION (1) is struggling to break through but hasn't been far away, the latest offering a third, beaten 2. 75 lengths, over 1m1 1f at this track. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Will be in this for a long way. TRUE CHANCE (13) has been about the mark of late. Last time out was 2. 5 lengths from the winner in second over 1m1 1f at this track. Reunites with Lisa Staples which is a proven winning combination. Worth including in calculations.
