ARATUS finished clear of the rest when beaten less than a length at Newbury on his debut. The winner ha subsequently gone in again and that form looks stronger than Action Hero’s third at Redcar. Final Watch will likely finish closer today while stablemate and newcomer Inigo Jones is a full-brother to a winner and a half-brother to Listed winner Gabr. Mawkeb is a US-bred $700,000 purchase while Ilza'eem and George Bancroft are others to note for any strong support.
