ART OFFICIAL is beginning to become a little expensive to follow and while one or two of his long suffering followers may have given up on him, the drop back to the 6f trip may see him finally get off the mark. Gilmer was easy to back on debut at Yarmouth and his pedigree suggests that he may be one to get involved with when stepped up in distance. Music Stop has been well held in two very ordinary maidens and the market should tell us exactly what is anticipated from Nunkie Bill on debut.
