Verdict
ARC CARA ran well when a close-up fourth over track and trip on his reappearance. A mark of 75 is usually good enough to win an ordinary maiden such as this. Secret Journey was still beaten a long way when third at Bath in June while Bipartisan disappointed last time having shown promise on her racecourse debut at Yarmouth. Invade needs to improve and Snow Cover was tailed off on her introduction.
