Verdict

Red Art arrives on the back of a couple of wins and has every chance stepping up in trip on the evidence of his latest success on soft ground here. However, the form of BIG NOTE's debut victory at this track looks just as strong as Andrew Balding's colt ran out an easy winner and he gets the vote to follow-up. Waseem Faris also made an impressive debut when scoring at Bath and he's not easily dismissed, while Musselburgh winner Hamza is another to consider dropping back down in class after being well beaten at Newbury last time along with Alejandro.
