      Verdict

      John Gosden fires a strong double salvo at this maiden stakes and the presence of Frankie Dettori aboard ARABIST is the signpost that the son of Invincible Spirit is the stable number one. He should be suited by the forecast good to soft ground and has scope to progress further after two promising starts. Stable companion Swift Wing has filled the minor placing on all three starts and now has a first outing since being gelded. He rates a definite form player along with Noble Music, placed on both starts in respectable maiden/novice company and another expected to be suited by the conditions.
