Verdict

A winner over course and distance, British Art found one too good at Dundalk after a rise in the weights and has gone up a further 2lb. Traveltalk’s recent success came in a seller at Redcar and this is tougher but Four Kingdoms is less easily overlooked as he may have found 1m6f too far last time and landed a double before that. Exclusive Waters also recorded a double earlier in the year and should be sharper for a recent comeback but a chance is taken on HAYWARD FIELD after finishing a close-up third at Kempton given he won off a similar mark at Thirsk during the summer.
