Verdict
Nottingham third Night Arc has gone close a few times and can’t be ignored in this but ARYAAH (NAP), a half-sister to Oaks runner-up Mystery Angel, unsurprisingly appreciated the step up in distance at Bath two weeks ago and is worth sticking with if the going remains on the fast side of good. Al Azhar was another to have got off the mark over 1m2f last time but only by a head and he has 3lb more to carry here. Homeric won at Lingfield in March but was then only sixth at Wolverhampton and makes his Turf debut.
