In depth
Verdict
Quality Art is on a four-timer but will do well to confirm latest running at Wolverhampton with ARCTIC LYNX. The latter was beaten only a neck and can turn the tables on much better terms. The Dandy Yank and Pharoh Jake have fallen victim to Quality Art of late with the latter of that pair also weighted to reverse running while Sir Billy Wright is still improving and is only 3lb higher than his win at Wolverhampton last month.
