In depth
Verdict
Ryan Moore only has a couple of rides booked today - both for his father Gary - and should kick-start 2011 with a victory on QUALITY ART. A very good second to Guided Missile over 6f here in November, he couldn't quite cope with Steps over today's trip at Wolverhampton last month but still looks too good for these rivals. Mandy's Hero was almost four lengths behind in that Wolverhampton event and can hardly be expected to turn the tables on the same terms though he should prove second best in a race lacking in depth as Gower Sophia, who comes out third-best in the ratings, is still a maiden after 23 starts.
