This looks difficult, not least because Mark Johnston fires a quadruple salvo in this always tough-to-win Heritage handicap. All have a decent shout with the ultra-consistent Austrian School just preferred of the quartet. Pipes Of Peace ran a fine race when runner-up in the Rosebery Handicap but is hard to evaluate accurately as he has yet to travel further than 1m4f. He'll go close if staying the trip off what looks a decent mark. The consistent Ulster should represent the in-form Archie Watson stable with conviction but a chance is taken with ARTARMON. He hasn't been seen since disappointing at Newmarket last backend but had previously enjoyed a tremendously progressive campaign, including two successes over this trip. There could well be more to come and he's already displayed his ability around here with a course and distance success, whilst the booking of Paul Hanagan is another plus.
