Verdict
Arcano Gold ran well in a Doncaster handicap last time and is not out of this while Fibre Optic showed improvement when runner-up in heavy ground at Leicester and is going the right way. PERCEUS made a decent start at Newbury but failed to land the odds at Lingfield last month. But he was forced wide on the turn for home on that occasion and gets a chance to make amends. Newcomers to note include both of the Godolphin duo, along with Making Shapes and Counterproof, while Scottish is out of a prolific mare and cost 170,000 euros.
