In depth
Verdict
Strictly Art is holding his form well and won at Lingfield last month. But he just failed to haul in APALIS over track and trip last time and the latter is taken to go in again raised only 2lb. Rubenesque won over today’s distance in Ireland in August but is 6lb higher today having subsequently changed yards, though Lungarno Palace is not badly treated if rediscovering his best form. Thankyou Very Much was placed here in October but recent Southwell third Dream Serenade has just the one win in 25 attempts.
