Verdict
After a couple of narrow defeats, Art Echo makes more appeal in this than stablemate Elegant Annie, though the latter is the only previous course and distance winner in the line-up. Faction and Kylea are the least exposed and represent powerful yards. Knight Of The Air won at Chepstow on Monday but has to carry a penalty, meaning he is now on a career-high mark. Ocean Ready drops down a grade and Indrapura has the past form to figure but ARTISTS MODEL wouldn't need to find much more having finished a close-up third on her handicap debut at Leicester.
