Verdict
A winner over a mile, Mash Potato was less than convincing when stepped up to today's trip at Windsor while Artful Prince was a shock winner over 1m1f at Yarmouth in first-time blinkers but is temperamental and not one to trust. Baraboy has been given a chance by the handicapper dropped a further 3lb after a better effort at Newcastle but preference is for SZABO'S ART. Sir Mark Prescott's filly opened her account with a victory over today's trip in an apprentice's race last week. She escapes a penalty as a consequence and can follow up.
