Verdict
Art Scholar is the highest rated of these but has shown nothing since his first two runs on turf in the summer of last year. Tewin Wood has won two 7f handicaps on Polytrack but his recent form has been poor so this can go to SABATINI. Jeff Pearce's filly has won three claimers and a handicap on this surface and this looks no tougher than any of her victories. Tuscan King has a very good record on Polytrack having won five times and will be better for a recent run over 1m2f here, his first since May. Haveahaarth won a moderate handicap at Dundalk early this month and was well supported to complete a double here last week but ran disappointingly. He's with new connections here and may need a little time to settle down.
