      Verdict

      ARATUS (NAP) was runner-up to a subsequent winner now rated 101 on debut at Newbury last year and then won a race at Kempton which has worked out well. He has an absence and a penalty to overcome but could be useful. Good Humor is also returning from a break but it’s interesting that he’s been kept in training as a four-year-old and he should be winning soon. Godolphin’s Next Victory is a half-sister to two winners so is worth monitoring.
