Verdict

Art Obsession was second over this trip at Ayr before finishing fourth over a mile at Musselburgh. He shouldn't be far away again here but a lack of experience probably cost CRYSTAL LAKE a place on his debut at Kempton last month. He still wasn't beaten far and, with that run to fall back on, can get off the mark this evening as Definite Secret will need to improve on his debut third over 6f here to score. Tortoise looked aptly named on his debut at Thirsk where he was tailed off.
