Glorious Artist drops in class for this having finished fourth in a handicap at Kempton back in September. But she has a bit to find on these terms with RAY’S THE MONEY, who also returns from an absence having found only one too good in a maiden race at Nottingham and Michael Bell’s charge also has Louis Steward’s allowance in his favour. Bonnie Gals was runner-up at Southwell last time but this is tougher while the newcomer Bowed Not Broken will need to above average to come out best.
