Verdict
Critical Thinking is best over 7f here and placed over the latter trip a fortnight ago while Win Win Power is not guaranteed to stay on his return from a lay-off having been gelded since last in action. Visibility opened his account when a surprise winner over course and distance a week ago and is preferred to another recent winner in Final Attack while Corked and Never Said Nothing placed over today’s trip last time. But ARABIC WELCOME is the least exposed and having finished third over a mile in better company at Newcastle on his handicap debut and first start for Marco Botti, he gets the nod.
