In depth
Verdict
Art Of Swing was tailed off on his debut at Brighton and stablemate Squire Hockey fared no better at Lingfield. Silhouette is exposed but consistent enough at this level and Heartstone has been placed in five of her six career starts, though was beaten nine lengths in a three-runner race last time at Chelmsford. Saunter has his first start in this country but was placed four times in France and Jim Crowley is an eye-catching jockey booking. However, we're concentrating on a couple of stoutly-bred newcomers who run in the same colours. BRODIE is by Sea The Stars and a half-sister to three winners. She looks the more likely of the two ahead of Time To Blossom with Jamie Spencer doing the steering.
