In depth
Verdict
ELOQUENT ARTHUR is steadily improving and finished second at Newmarket on his handicap debut. Another bold bid is expected from the Hannon colt and he’s preferred to Addosh. The latter had gone close over today’s trip at Yarmouth before returning a losing favourite over 6f while Dashing Dick was narrowly beaten over the same trip here on his handicap debut. Carlitos Way found one too good at Wolverhampton and Emaness showed a big improvement at Newcastle last time.
