In depth
Verdict
Artzola gets the vote here with Super Dominion and White Star Magic rated as the main dangers. The selection won well here last time when beating Young Kate. She finished powerfully that day so the extra furlong here should be in her favour and in what looks a weak affair she looks to have leading chance. White Star Magic is interesting as he shaped as though returning to form last time out when fifth behind La Viola. That was his best effort for a while so he is certainly one to consider, but this slight-step-up in trip will not necessarily play to his strengths. Super Dominion was very disappointing over this course and distance last time but he has won four times here and for that reason he is not one to dismiss lightly. Successor shaped encouragingly last time and is another to consider, but for the winner we are happy to return to Artzola.
