York Race 3 - Al Basti Equiworld Dubai Gimcrack Stakes (Group 2)
MATTEO (8) Resuming after a spell. Got the upper hand late when winning by a nose last run at Beverley. Will give a big sight. NEVER ENOUGH (11) Led throughout when winning by a margin of 1 1/2L last run at Ascot but competing in a higher grade. Should jump out and bowl along. Respect against this field. ARAPAHO GOLD (3) Fought on gamely when winning by a head last start at Newbury and taking on a lower class of opponents. Honest performer putting a tidy record together. Winnable race. FINAL OBJECTIVE (4) Backing up quickly. Handy enough when winning by 2 1/2L last start at Thirsk and displaying improvement over the past few runs. Matched against a stronger field. Must respect.

Brave effort to win narrowly last start at Newbury and going down in class. Unbeaten this campaign with 3 wins from 3 starts and good career start. Strong claims.

On a quick turnaround. Displayed potential when winning by 2 1/2L last start at Thirsk but challenged by more formidable competitors. Showing improvement in recent outings. Gets a chance against these.

Led and controlled the pace to win by a margin of 1 1/2L last run at Ascot but matched against tougher rivals. Won't be far away during the run. Solid prospects.
