Verdict
Urban Artist has placed at this level in the past but the three-year-olds Brunnera and ABSTINENCE (NAP) come out best at the weights. The former wasn’t at her best at York last time but Ralph Beckett’s filly finished a close-up third over 1m4f in Listed company at Newmarket and is fancied to improve again over this extra distance. Irish challenger Sacred Rhyme has a shout if back to her best and is preferred to Pennymoor but the latter’s stablemate Thousand Oaks looks a likely improver at this level. Sea Sylph is another with something to prove on these terms though won a handicap over today’s trip at Goodwood last time when Flower Of Scotland and Roseabad filled the places and Percy's Pride and Goolwa finished further behind.
