Verdict

Despite meeting with defeat for the first time, ARAPAHO GOLD arguably enhanced his reputation trying to concede weight all round in the Mill Reef at Newbury and he looks a very solid proposition in this good-quality opening race. Inner City Blues remains a top prospect despite a slightly underwhelming effort in the Middle Park, while Night In Vegas has already had a lucrative season and can make his presence felt again.
