Balducci would probably have won this in a canter a few years ago but, despite a recent second at Redcar, he is not the force of old, though does have the beating of Our Boy Jack. YOURARTISONFIRE won a handicap at Pontefract a year ago off a mark of 91 and is now rated 86. He showed a bit more last time at Carlisle so could be the one to be on today as Baltic Brave again seemed to find 1m too far at Newbury last month. Anton Chigurh last won on Turf in 2012 and was well beaten recently at Haydock.
