Kempton winner Street Art had been in good form until finishing tailed off behind Smugglers Lane here in January. But the latter has failed to figure since while Claude Greenwood finished nearer last than first at Southwell on his latest start having won at the same track earlier. Little Flo was not far behind Smugglers Lane earlier but is another to have struggled subsequently so a chance is taken on AWESOME ROCK. The latter was placed off today's mark here last time and should be in the mix with a similar effort.
