Verdict
QUALITY ART was surprisingly beaten at Bath in between Polytrack victories at Kempton but should gain his first success on the surface here. He holds Fair Value and Scarlet Rocks on that latest success and the remainder have questions to answer. Penny's Pearl has competed at a higher level over longer trips and may not be capable of matching the pace of the selection, a remark that also applies to Khaleeji, who finished last on his reappearance over 7f at Kempton a month ago. Look Who's Kool may prove the main threat as he showed up well for a long way on his reappearance at Doncaster and will have come on nicely for the run.
