LUCKY ART was forced to race wide from an unfavourable draw at Chester last time and reverting here to a straight five furlongs will certainly be more to his liking. Howard Johnson's juvenile is given the vote to win it with Glamorous Spirit and Sir Geoffrey possibly the biggest threats. Prior to his Chester disappointment, Lucky Art broke his maiden tag at the third attempt when making all at Beverley where the second and third have subsequently franked the form. Glamorous Spirit was sent early to post at Beverley last time and does appear quite a head strong sort, racing keenly throughout that race. The ground at Beverley was on the soft side which may not have been in her favour but to her credit she was beaten by what looked a smart filly in Blades Princess who attracted significant market support in last Saturday's Cornwallis. Sir Geoffrey attempted to make all at Musselburgh last time and was found wanting quite a way from home. This livelier ground should suit him better while To The Point has not been seeing out her races of late and is best watched at this point. Lucky Art is selected to land it.
