Verdict
RISKY ART won a decent nursery at York when stepped up to today's trip last month. There was cut in the ground when she won her maiden back in May and Mick Easterby's filly should have further improvement in her. Holy Roman Warrior was sent off favourite for the same York nursery but ran a shocker and it's hard to know what to expect here, but Zakreet won his maiden in good style in soft ground at Newcastle last time and should be thereabouts once again. Montaser scored at the first time of asking at Ffos Las and makes more appeal than Beverley winner Loyal Master.
