    Verdict

    ARABIAN KING looks to have little to fear from today’s opposition. The latter has taken well to the Fibresand notching-up a couple of wide-margin course and distance wins recently and a 5lb penalty is unlikely to anchor him in this. Cold Harbour goes well here and finished in front of Croeso Cymraeg when beaten only a head last time while Star Ascending will appreciate the return to this surface having won five times here and is preferred to Proxy.
