Race preview
Melekhov is sure to prove popular following his debut second at Ludlow and rightly so, but ARCH MY BOY shades the verdict with that extra run under his belt. The four-year-old built on his introductory eighth in a Cheltenham Listed event when third at Huntingdon and, open to further improvement, he looks sure to go close under Tom Scudamore. Imperial Knight and Sirobbie make most appeal of the newcomers.
