Verdict
Operatic Artist won at Wolverhampton in first-time cheekpieces while Wadacre Gomez returns to his winning trip and so does Pink Lily. Measured Moments ran well for second over track and trip last time but FOLK STAR has won two of her last three outings and dropping back down in class after scoring at Kempton, she looks worth sticking with representing David Simcock’s in-form yard.
