Verdict

Representing connections who love having winners at this track, ARTABAN is a debutant very much to take seriously and master handler Paul Nicholls could hardly have found him a better opening. Those with form don't set a very high standard as Crest of Arms finished seventh on debut at Wincanton before another mediocre display at Cheltenham, albeit that was in Listed company. Arms Park will need to improve on his third-placed effort here.
