LADY OF ARABIA paid the price for a big move into contention at Haydock 3 weeks ago, so is well worth another chance to resume her progress, especially with top rider James Doyle nowtaking overin the saddle.The step back up in trip is a slight question mark forAl Hargah but she’s clearly going the right way now and has to be respected. Squeezebox still has potential and is another interesting runner on his first try at 10f TIMEFORM
