The application of headgear worked the oracle for ARABIC CHARM last month and she opened her account with a victory at Chelmsford. The Godolphin filly has gone close on Turf before and she’s preferred to Glasvegas. The latter is upped a grade on the back a course and distance win while De Vegas Kid has been thereabouts at the track lately and has an apprentice’s allowance helping his cause today. Little Boy Blue’s earlier win came in soft going over 6f at Ascot but he’s worth another try over this longer trip.
