Low-mileage 4-y-o SIEMPRE ARTURO looks to start life in handicaps on a good mark so gets the vote in this competitive handicap. Fellow handicap debutant Sycamore Gap could emerge as the main threat if, as expected, taking a step forward now his stamina is drawn out more. Course-winners Harbour Vision and Percy Willis need factoring in too.
