Art Form has had plenty of chances and so has SIGNOR SASSI but the longer trip may have been to blame for the latter's poor run in a handicap at Sandown last time. Roger Varian's gelding had only found one too good in his previous four starts and may be worth another chance back in maiden company. Stir Trader is a danger as he ran a lot better at Salisbury last time while Enrol has only had the one start so far, at Salisbury in June, and should show the benefit of that experience here. It's difficult to fancy many of the others, however, including the four newcomers.
