In depth
Verdict
Arcadian Nights makes a quick reappearance having beaten both Toophan and Johnny Boom here earlier in the week. He carries a 5lb penalty but WAR IN HEAVEN (NAP) remains on a winning mark despite a 2lb rise for scoring over track and trip last time. There should be more to come over today’s distance and he can go in again. Mafia Power finished behind the selection but Kentucky Kingdom can go well while Visibility and Love Your Work are upped in trip.
