In depth
Verdict
Soft ground may have been a legitimate excuse for Investigation’s poor run at York while both Solajan and Falcon Cliffs drop in class and step up in distance. Arctic Sea also attempts a longer trip as he bids for a hat-trick but Arab Moon will appreciate the return to 1m3f having won here back in April. Winston C has plenty of scope but so does NATHAN MAYER (NAP) with Ryan Moore taking over the reins today having won a handicap debut at Nottingham last month. He gets the nod with further progress on the cards.
