Artistic License deserved her win last time but a penalty makes life tough and we will side instead with Deal Flipper ahead of Bazguy. The selection comes here on the back of a fine claiming win at Lingfield. That form on its own doesn't look much cop but she was impressive and she can defy this new mark of 65 today. Daniel Chillingworth is proving hard to follow, in contrast to the player, whilst Bazguy knows how to win and the stable are shrewd so watch the betting carefully. Artistic License is very consistent and the filly should not be discounted from top-weight, however drawn in stall two she will need plenty of luck to win. At a price A Wish For You may go better now back on an artificial surface, however it is Deal Flipper who can take this off her light weight.
