Verdict

A very interesting novice featuring 4 previous winners. ARTISTIC STAR looked a good prospect when getting the job done at the first attempt at Nottingham in October and, given his smart pedigree, he's open to oodles of improvement and edges the vote. Royal Symbol hasn't been seen for 17 months, but his debut win couldn't have worked out any better, while Torito and Clever Relation are others with plenty of potential to improve.
