Arlecchinos Gift is a former course and distance winner and a tough sort with 9 wins from 62 races under Rules, just six years old. Handicap mark coming back down here (OR54). Jason Watson (SR 18%) booked for Mark Usher (SR 14%) stable in fair form just now with a couple of recent winners. Excuses for last time out when blindfold was off late.

Handicap mark has dropped and receives weight from all rivals here. It's a hopeful play but Fan Mail is an interesting entry. One emphatic win from ten career starts. The six furlongs trip at Ripon could suit well.

Last run 11 days ago could prepare Temple City for this outing. Return to a mile and good ground could help.
