Stepping up to 1m4f on a galloping track like York could bring about plenty of further progress from ARC OLE OLE (10) who needed all of the 1m2f at Doncaster to prevail narrowly on his handicap debut in March. No shock to see connections move up in trip with the runner-up from that Doncaster contest scoring subsequently to give form substance. Can defy a 4lb rise in weights. Comfortable Wolverhampton novice winner HARD TO BELIEVE (3) also needs to be considered up in distance making handicap debut. May get involved under Oisin Murphy. CHARLES DARNAY (8) battled on well to score tackling this trip at Kempton. Cannot be ruled out representing a yard in top form. BALTIC FLEET (1) makes for each-way appeal.
