Verdict
Half of this moderate bunch have been hurdling including dual track winner Lusis Naturea, though he hasn't been seen since August. Lady Of Luxury has managed to win three times here but takes a big step-up in trip and though Artistic Work has performed well enough in his two starts over the course and distance this year he remains a maiden after 18 runs. Movie King's close second over the course and distance in January puts him in the frame though he's run poorly subsequently. Winning hurdler HAMMERSMITH has Colin Keane's presence to aid his cause and he's taken to gain his first success on the surface though Nusra was staying on strongly over 1m4f last week.
