ARTHUR MARTINLEAKE's second to Louie De Palma at Windsor is working out well. The third and fifth have won since and Karl Burke's colt can make the most of his experience to get the better of newcomer Tadqeeq, who is sprint-bred and a half-brother to a couple of winners - he has an entry in a valuable sales race at Doncaster last month. Emirates Challenge was noted keeping on over 5f at Windsor last time and the step up in distance looks certain to suit the Godolphin colt.
