        Verdict

        ART DE VIVRE romped home by six lengths when upped to today’s trip at Thirsk on her handicap debut. She’ll likely be raised by more than today’s penalty and looks the one to beat. Solution beat previous winner Bodygroove when scoring at Kempton with both Arcadian Friend and Arabescato well behind while Mukha Magic won at Chelmsford in June and is preferred to Renardeau.
