Intense Style was second over track and trip on soft going two runs ago but didn’t reproduce that effort of this mark at Catterick. Ower Fly is starting to slip down the weights and has a win to his name on the prevailing ground. Locally-trained Johnny Cavagin would not be without a chance but there are going concerns surrounding Merdon Castle and Roll On Rory has not been able to sustain last year’s progression this term. All surfaces seem to come alike to ART ECHO and he’s made strides since joining John Mackie, winning here and at Newmarket – he’s entitled to be thereabouts again.
