Step up in trip should help underachieving Elarqam fulfil his potential at last

1.15: Palace of Holyroodhouse Handicap, 5f

Another of the new races, so no trends to go on, but Tim Easterby was quick to identify this as the likely target for smart Newcastle 6f winner Art Power, even though he might have had each-way claims in the Commonwealth Cup. A mark of 97 might well underestimate him.

Band Practice was last seen at the Breeders' Cup. She had been a triple 5f winner before that and has earned her big weight. Her trainer Archie Watson also has Goodwood winner Electric Ladyland, Lambeth Walk and Maystar, while her owners Clipper Logistics have another speedy entry in Spartan Fighter.

In a tricky affair Will To Win also looks interesting for Simon and Ed Crisford.
