Art Work should have too many guns for Bazelle and Eccentricity, with Ballet Ballon best of the remainder. Art Work did not see the racetrack as a juvenile, and was highly tried on her debut at Newbury, finishing ninth of 13 to the useful Simply Sunshine. John Gosden's filly will come on for the run and has less to do here, so should be the answer. Bazelle's best effort last term was a second to Titian Time at Newmarket, and she should have no trouble winning a maiden on that form alone, while Eccentricity has not been seen since making her debut at Yarmouth last summer. Ballet Ballon was never sighted on her Kempton bow last autumn but is another that can improve in her second season, but Art Work makes most appeal and can score before going on to better things.
