Dorothy's Dancing was beaten a head over 6f last time when Amethyst Dawn finished fourth. That was the latter's first start since October and she's subsequently gone very close at Kempton. Johnny Splash also scored over 6f here last month with Pharoh Jake back in third but QUALITY ART gets the nod. Richard Guest's charge got the better of Even Bolder when fifth at Kempton earlier and given he's done all his winning so far over today's minimum trip, he can finally take advantage of his lowly mark.
