Verdict
It's hard to get away from MATTEO, who made a deep impression when making a winning debut over C&D. The son of Coulsty could have any amount of improvement to come and can go in again. Arapaho Gold beat a subsequent winner by over two lengths at Thirsk and has to be considered along with Big Cigar, who struck at the first time of asking at Newcastle.
