Cosmic Art can complete a hat-trick at the expense of other last-time-out winners Bosun Breese and Johar Jamal, with Presto Levanter and Cracking making for a competitive nursery. Cosmic Art really looked the part on his nursery bow at Wolverhampton eight-days ago, dishing out a three-length defeat to Victorian Bounty. Connections reckon that he needs fast ground, hence the reason for his switch to the all-weather during the wet spell, and under optimum conditions here, he can shrug off a rise in the weights to follow up. Bosun Breese makes his nursery debut after coming good at the third time of asking at Sandown in June. He has the big sales race here in the autumn as his main objective, and looks a major player. Johar Jamal only scraped home in a fillies' maiden at Goodwood last time, but hails from a stable with a strong hand in the juvenile department, while Presto Laventer and Cracking are at opposite ends of the handicap and give Richard Hannon two good bites at the cherry. The one that they all have to beat though is Cosmic Art.
