Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Arqoob
Arqoob heads this five-runner Class 3 contest at Newmarket on good-to-firm ground narrowly ahead of Bulletin, who shapes as the most significant danger over this fourteen-furlong trip and must be respected accordingly, with Sixpack and Goblet Of Fire also capable of making their presence felt if conditions suit. The selection holds a slender edge on form and, with the trip and going already proven, there is enough here to suggest he can see it out. Arqoob is our selection.
