Verdict

Admirable Art is a great advertisement for the training skills of Tony Carroll having won nine times for the yard since transferring there from Marco Botti in 2013. However, last month's Wolverhampton victory takes him onto his highest ever mark which looks a few pounds high. Inshaa has never won in 16 starts and does best on Tapeta but Classic Pursuit was staying on over 6f at Kempton last week though he's yet to prove himself over the extra furlong. THE YELLOW BUS won in Ireland for David Wachman and had her first start for Michael Wigham at Wolverhampton three weeks ago where she showed up well. She looks better than a 72-rated handicapper and can gain her first success for new connections.
