Well clear of the rest when a close-up fourth at Haydock on his recent debut, AMERICAN ARTIST can open his account. The runner-up Subersive has already won so the form looks solid enough. Frognal Bear steps up from 5f having returned a losing favourite at Sandown but Lingfield runner-up Frantical was due to run at Nottingham yesterday. Inke finished ahead of Herecomestheband over today's trip at Epsom and Quick Defence and Consortium are others to consider while Dutch Robin is open to obvious improvement.
