Verdict
Lowry's Art may be able to defy the handicapper and follow up his Warwick success but it's hard to be confident with many in this field relatively unexposed. Richard Hughes is riding this course particularly well at present and Night Premiere should be suited by the return to racing at this trip but Hughes will have his work cut out to get her home in front from the worst of the draw. The selection had to work very hard to win at Warwick and the form is nothing to get excited about. On the plus side, it was her first run of the season so she can reasonably be expected to find some improvement and she is only 3lbs higher in the weights. One or two of these may have been hiding their lights under a bushel and the market should help us work out whether they are expected to shine tonight. Binfield, Bye Baby Bunting and River Gleam are three of the more interesting ones but we're going to stick with the proven form of Lowry's Art.
