Few of these arrive in decent form and those that do are upped in class. That latter list includes last month’s second over track and trip, Secret Art, while Across Dubai has failed to figure since placing here in June. Mutarabby will be sharper for a recent belated reappearance having won over a mile here last year but a speculative vote goes to STAR ARCHER. He’s been rested since struggling at Newbury in April but was placed in this grade at Kempton before that and may prove good enough on his return to action in a tough race to call.
