In depth
Verdict
Living Leader completed a double on Polytrack but couldn't quite handle the 4lb rise at Salisbury. Suitsus was the surprise winner of a lower grade handicap at Brighton and is 4lb higher but Tripartite ran well here last month and is still on a lower mark than his last two victories. Admirable Art wins plenty of races, though mainly at a lower level, but FANTASY QUEEN loves it here and scored twice last summer so gets the vote having dropped to a feasible mark.
