Verdict

You Call That Art just gets the nod over Brazilian Style, with Pearly Poll and Bellsbank best of the others that have raced so far. You Call That Art has gone very close on each of her last two starts, at Goodwood and Newmarket, and must surely open her account before the season is out. There was a lot to like about both of those two latest efforts, as she lost ground at the start at Goodwood, and found only the highly-rated favourite Scandal Keeper too good at Headquarters. She handles soft ground, and although drawn high in stall 10, will hopefully overcome that negative quickly to get into contention. Brazilian Style finished last of three behind Flashy Wings at Newbury in May and was not beaten far when runner-up to Rare Breed at Ayr next time, with subsequent winner The Terrier back in fourth. That form is not bad but he has an absence to overcome, while Pearly Poll might need further in time, being a half-sister to the useful Bishops Finger. Bellsbank ran another good race in defeat at Pontefract and will again be there or thereabouts as well. The Lady Mandarin and Zorooni are potentially interesting newcomers, but You Call That Art has enough experience to see them and the rest off today.
