Verdict

Art Man is fancied to get off the mark at the main expense of Cinematic and Royal Fantasy. Gary Moore's gelding has shown ability so far but his problem has been inconsistency. He is at home on the all-weather having run well over course and distance last time out and from a good draw he should run well. Cinematic looks the pick of Jim Boyle's pair as his stablemate Sky Quest is out of form and yet to win on the all-weather. Cinematic, a course and distance winner, has been in consistently good form of late, as has Optimus although he tends to find at least one too good. Resplendant Ace bounced back to form last time and must be a danger if in the same frame of mind, however whilst Royal Fantasy should go well with his form looking solid (doesn't tend to find much for pressure though), it is Art Man who is taken to win.
