Verdict

Another small field goes to post for this maiden and the principals look to be Al Rajiba, Artistic Style and Chantry Falls and we will take a chance on Artistic Style. Brian Ellison's charge has shown enough in the french provences to suggest he can win a race of this nature and if he acts on this faster surface he will be hard to beat. Al Rajiba rates the main danger he was a good second behind Bob's Buzz last time and a reproduction of that form would see him go close. Chantry Falls would have a chance on his second behind Phoenix Nights but he has disappointed since so we are happy to side with Artistic Style.
