Sarah's Art, Qudrophenia and Soviet Legend are the three that catch the eye and preference is for Sarah's Art. Top weight, Quadrophenia is lightly raced and open to improvement. He won over the minimum trip at Musselburgh last season and will be a lot sharper for his seasonal re-appearance. he has it all to do here though in this competitive affair and may need to slip downj the handicap. Soviet Legend won at Catterick in October, and shaped with promise when second to Toy Top at Catterick last time. The winner let the form down subsequently though and he is passed over. Sarah's Art wasnt winning out of turn when losing his maiden tag at Wolverhampton, as he had been running well before that. He appears on the upgrade, and if translating that form to turf, Sarah's Art can lead them home.
