Verdict
Art Sale gets a tentative vote over Attribution, with Only In Jest, Ten Down and Natmana other options in an open affair. Art Sale has been steadily improving and looks just the sort to make an impression in nursery company judged on his two latest starts. Gary Moore's colt will relish the step back up to six-furlongs, and will handle the fast ground. Karl Burke lost Attribution after his narrow success in a Bath seller, and his loss could be Andy Haynes' gain, as the colt looks another progressive sort. Only In Jest has plenty of weight but is more experienced, as is Ten Down and neither can be left out of calculations. Nor can Natmana, given the fact that his stable has plenty of decent juveniles. The pin comes down on Art Sale.
