Verdict
Lady Clitico has struggled since raised in the weights for winning at Catterick early this year. But the in-form Strictly Art won again when landing an amateurs' race over 2m at Lingfield earlier this month when well ahead of last year’s winner of this Shan Dun Na Ngall. BRITISH ART also arrives in fine form having won over 1m4f here on a couple of occasions including his latest start. A chance is taken he’s as effective over this longer distance and he gets the nod.
