FormscanBy Mark Nunan - ARTHUR’S QUAY won a maiden hurdle at the Harvest Festival two years ago and is unexposed over fences. He’s been noted staying on over shorter trips the last twice, has been dropped a few pounds and looks ready for a step-up to three miles. Black Samurai has won three of his last four and has Patrick Mullins’ assistance in the saddle. He’s up 9lb for his latest victory at Killarney but is very progressive. Topweight Mister Bells has also enjoyed a profitable summer and will enjoy going back up in trip after getting up late over 2m4f last time, while Twilight Girl made the breakthrough over fences at Tramore before being touched off in a handicap at Galway and is clearly at the top of her game at present.
