Arantes has slipped to a career-low mark and looks worth a wager at 8/1 in the 12.50 at Musselburgh today now partnered by Henry Brooke for the first time.
Andrew Hamilton’s charge is yet tlo get his head in front in 13 starts over hurdles but has hinted at ability and ran well four starts back at Kelso when an 8 1/4 length fourth of 10 to Ping off a mark of 100.
That form reads well in the context off this contest and Arantes also caught the eye last time out when a keeping on fourth at this venue when given plenty to do under a 5lb claimer off a mark of 91.
Having been rated as high as 103 he is now able to race off just 89 and that makes him look potentially well-treated on the pick of his form.
Another plus is that he now gets the services of the highly talented Brooke in the saddle and Arantes loom the type that will appreciate his stronger handling.
Daily Sport recommended bet: 2pts each-way Arantes (8/1 bet365, BetVictor, Ladbrokes, Sky Bet, William Hill – BOG)
