A late developer, Urban Artist easily beat Ice Sprite at Goodwood but is 8lb worse off. Inclyne got going too late at Newbury so a return to 1m4f will suit and she looks a threat to all. Hyanna has been very consistent this year but she may find this a struggle under top weight on going that is probably softer than ideal. LA LUNE has only raced on good or fast ground so far but she’s by Champs Elysees out of a Pivotal mare so there is every chance she will relish conditions. She is weighted to reverse Newbury running with Hyanna and an earlier Pontefract second is working out well with the winner landing a Group 3 at Newmarket last week and the third also successful since.
