Verdict
Ymir's recent win here was his first in 26 starts and he'll find it difficult to follow-up off a higher mark, but Art Scholar looks likely to be taking advantage of his slide down the weights soon. Heirach can do better back at this more suitable level and Spinning Ridge will appreciate the return to Polytrack after a below par effort at Southwell last time. However, BOLLYWOOD STYLE finished runner-up to Edie's Dot Com over C&D last month and a repeat of that effort in this company may be enough for John Best's charge to get his head back in front.
