Verdict
Low-mileage 3-y-o ARCTIC DAWN just about matched his previous best on the back of an 8-month absence when third on handicap debut at Doncaster 3 weeks ago. Remaining with potential back on synthetics, he could be the answer. Last year's winner Riot arrives on the back of a solid run at Wolverhampton and rates a big threat. Ultramarine is another to consider.
