In depth
Verdict
Francisco Bay can probably be forgiven his run at Carlisle in May over a trip too far. Goldie Hawk has been in good form all season, winning at Windsor in June, but Arch Moon tries a new trip. Arabian Warrior hasn’t raced since clipping heels and falling at Wolverhampton in November but he does have untapped potential. WHITEHAVEN won four times last year but has only had a couple of outings this season. He should be approaching peak fitness now and Murphy could be a very significant jockey booking.
