ARTISAN DANCER was beaten only by an unexposed rival at York last week and makes plenty of appeal racing from an unchanged mark in this lower grade. Zealandia remains well treated on the pick of his form and also merits consideration after his recent third at Newcastle, with C&D winner Hardy Bloke also shortlisted having not really been seen to maximum effect in the Northumberland Vase.
