      Verdict

      Lightning Leo has been beaten twice at this level since making a winning debut at Yarmouth. Metallo won over 7f here in June but finished behind Son when both were unplaced in the Group 2 Superlative last month, though was well ahead of the subsequent Kempton winner Quatre Bras. Arabic Legend made a winning debut at Newmarket but the runner-up was beaten much further next time by Sandown scorer Spanish Poet, who looks the danger to ARABIAN CROWN (NAP). The latter is a brother to a Listed winner in Germany and a half-brother to several other winners including the very smart The Juliet Rose. The Dubawi colt wasn’t hard pressed to land the odds at Sandown latest and can give Godolphin a third successive victory in this Listed event.
