Glorious Artist makes a quick reappearance having won at Wolverhampton last week but is penalised 6lb. That should give the advantage to recent maiden winner ISLAND BRAVE, who had a horse rated 79 back in third when successful at Lingfield with Trenchard further behind. Stan Moore’s colt should make a bold bid on these terms and is preferred to the more -xposed Camargue. El Torito has shown no progress since returning to action and it remains to be seen if On To Victory has improved over the winter.
