This is a modest handicap and Tony Carroll may well hold the key as both of his representatives are likely to be near the head of the market. We'll stick with the older ADMIRABLE ART as he ran well at Brighton last week when returning from a short break and can race off the same mark. Stablemate Suni Dancer hasn't won in more than two years, though was third at Chepstow last month. Lobster Cocktail produced his best effort so far when third at Wolverhampton and is lightly-raced while Edge pops up now and again. Protest continues to disappoint, however, and Zlatan looks held on the form book.
