Verdict
Third on the Tapeta surface at Wolverhampton on his debut, ARNARSON may prove god enough with normal progress. Ed Dunlop’s colt is preferred to Whatelseaboutyou of those with experience while the latter’s stablemate Dubai Art, a half-brother to a winner on the Fibresand, is one of the newcomers to note. Others to keep an eye on include Cloud Dragon and Brittanic though Mountain Angel, a brother to a Listed winner, makes most appeal of the debutants.
