      Verdict

      This looks a tight little heat and it might be worth chancing ACE ROTHSTEIN. The obvious concern is that he's not been seen for well over 300 days and now makes his handicap bow but the American-bred gelding showed plenty of promise on artificial surfaces as a juvenile and always looked the sort to make a better three-year-old. Oriental Art has been close up the last twice but Gold Arch has arguably the best form in the book, though is weighted accordingly. The consistent Silvestris will surely break his duck on Turf before long but maybe not today.
