GLOBAL ART led until inside the final furlong over 1m2f at Ripon earlier this month. A return to a shorter trip should be in his favour and he’s probably on a fair mark at present. Bowler Hat has also been getting closer, finishing second off this mark at Beverley 11 days ago. Mystical Mac ran his best race so far when runner-up at Carlisle but this is a slightly better race. Admiral Rooke and Foxrush Take Time probably also need to up their game but they look the pick of the remainder on recent form.
