      Verdict

      Master Of Arts can continue his progression up the ranks at the principal expense of Vortex and Furnace. The Sir Mark Prescott charge may have been a little lucky to get the breaks last time out but he justified strong support on the day and gave the impression that he is still learning about the game. Vortex has been there and worn the t-shirt. The hold up performer is better known over seven but he can leave behind his recent moderate efforts. Dubai Meydan also represents Gay Kelleway. He looks useful if not a tad quirky. First time blinkers are applied. Furnace is particularly interesting on his reappearance. Tried in all the big handicaps last term, the market is watched closely. Hazzard County has it to do on official figures. A good race and one in which Master Of Arts can be expected to prevail.
