Art Power¹⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: O Murphy| T: T D Easterby| OR: 109| BF| CD

2/1

Smart gelding. C&D winner. 8½ lengths eighth of 10 to Azure Blue in 1895 Duke of York Stakes (20/1) at York (6f, firm) 10 days ago. Goes well here and is likely to bounce back.

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: Billy Lee| T: K J Condon| OR: 108| CD

(5)

Twilight Jet³²²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Colin Keane| T: M O'Callaghan| OR: 112| D

8/1

Smart colt. 11½ lengths last of 13 to Alcohol Free in July Cup at Newmarket (6f, good to firm, 28/1). Off 10 months. Booking of Keane a plus. Claims if he's tuned up for return (won fresh last year).

Form: 510/100-

My Eyes Adore You⁴⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Andrew Slattery| T: J A Stack| OR: 99| CD

50/1

Forecasts

Art Power (2/1), Garrus (2/1), Moss Tucker (7/2), Twilight Jet (8/1), Ano Syra (14/1), Coachello (16/1), Big Gossey (25/1), My Eyes Adore You (50/1)

ART POWER has been successful on his two previous visits to this track and is worth a chance to maintain that unbeaten record here despite a sub-par return at York. Garrus is an obvious danger having landed the Abernant at Newmarket on return, while Moss Tucker looks the pick of the home contingent.
