        In depth

        Verdict

        Those with experience have a similar level of form and all three step up in distance. ARC ROYAL gets the speculative vote of that trio on his placed effort at Chester but Looting and Sidewinder are not out of this with improvement likely. The betting may give the best clue to the chances of the newcomers. Never A Word and Frankel's son Frankuus are related to pattern winners, Devil's Bridge is a half-brother to seven winners while Midnight Man is related to winners in France and Reinstorm cannot be ignored from the Fahey yard.
