In depth
Verdict
ART ECHO has made the most of last year’s slide down the weights and has won twice on the Turf in three starts since joining John Mackie. He ran well on his only previous start on the all-weather and is just preferred to Kingsley Klarion. The latter showed signs of a return to form when runner-up at Chelmsford recently while Vroom has been in good form at Southwell this year. Joey's Destiny was placed in a claimer at Catterick back in April but Mr Christopher remains 4lb higher than last year’s course and distance success.
