COOL ART is the call with Hawkspur and Atabaas Allure the most obvious dangers. The selection won well at Lingfield Park earlier in the week and has wisely been turned out again before the assessor has his very obvious say as to future engagements. Provided that the race has taken little out of him, his form appears much the strongest on offer. Hawkspur has a bad draw. The Yarmouth nursery that he recently took part in was a strong one by the track's standards and it will be interesting to see what is expected in the betting ring. Atabaas Allure makes a debut in nurseries. It would be no surprise to see her bounced out to the front in customary Johnston fashion. Silent Hero won a desperate event at Southwell. The handicapper's addition of 6lb might prove a stopper. Striding Edge ran into the useful Woolston Ferry on this track last month. He won't always be so unfortunate. Kervisay didn't get home on soft going at Warwick last time out and it would be no surprise to see him go well if the market speaks in his favour. Cool Art has a good opportunity to follow up a well earned recent success.
