led, ridden over 1f out, headed inside final furlong, stayed on same pace
Both Overwhelm and Welsh Inlet have been known to make the running so this should be a proper run race despite the small field. The former is not without a chance but despite better terms, the latter looks unlikely to reverse earlier form with Chevise, who has won five of her last six starts and has her first run for new connections after landing a claimer over 6f here last time. QUALITY ART beat subsequent dual winner Mandy's Hero over C&D in January and based on that piece of form he gets the vote to follow-up on his handicap debut.
