Verdict
ARKYN opened his account with an easy success in a similar event over track and trip last month. Alan King’s charge is penalised today but is proven on the Polytrack unlike Pour Joie, who made a winning start in bumpers with a victory at Warwick. The latter looks sure to be in the mix but Ehmaj steps up in trip after finishing fourth at Huntingdon on his recent debut and has been gelded subsequently. Steady Away is a likely improver if taking to the surface and Lantiern has undergone wind surgery since disappointing at Southwell having ran well on an earlier debut at Ascot.
