Verdict

Buy Art is a very interesting newcomer for Gary Moore and warrants a careful market check. Whistling Buddy should come on for a solid Goodwood debut in a low-key contest whilst Dansili Dual will naturally be popular after a pleasant first effort for the Hannon juvenile army at Haydock behind Cosmic Chatter. He looks the main threat to STRONG CONVICTION who makes plenty of appeal despite being the most exposed member of the field. He has good course form, having hunted up the Royal Ascot-bound Sir Prancelot before not getting the run of the race behind Mister Marc at Goodwood. He was still only beaten three lengths that day despite meeting trouble in running and merits another chance.
