Verdict
ARATUS was having only his second start of the year when runner-up in a higher grade contest at Kempton with Stone Soldier well behind so can go one better in this. Sterling Knight and Intervention face tougher tasks upped in class off higher marks on the back of recent victories at Wolverhampton but the veteran Documenting can't be ignored and is preferred to Zaman Jemil off his current mark.
