At this time of year it is almost impossible to judge which, if any, of these will make better three-year-olds but AUTHENTIC ART was quite highly tried in his first season. Representing a powerful yard, he’s a half-brother to six winners over a variety of distances and cost 75,000gns as a yearling so may well be good enough to make a winning start in handicaps with Danny Tudhope a significant jockey booking. Stepping up to a mile should suit Freebe Rocks and Progressive Jazz found a level on consistency at the back-end of last season and is now tried in cheekpieces, though has already run 11 times.
