Verdict
Cupid's Arrow is a course and distance winner and bids to give Ruth Carr and James Sullivan back-to-back victories in this. GEOFF POTTS had Araqeel behind when a one-paced fourth last time at Pontefract. Dropped a pound, he’s back in the right grade here and can notch a first success of the season. Tricky Dicky has also been keeping better company but had only Windforpower behind in this last year when Extrasolar finished second. Rose Marmara is on a decent mark nowadays and has finished close up in both starts this year so warrants respect.
