This looks to be a bit of a pin-stickers, and our marginal preference is for PERFECT PRIDE, but we give good chances too to Doric Lady and Artistic License. Lightly raced, she won narrowly on her handicap debut last month, and comes here as the only interest on the card for Clive Cox and Ian Mongan. Doric Lady also won last time out; she's won four of her last eight outings, but is never able to put together back to back successes. Three of those wins have been at this trip, and she won't mind if some of the forecast rain has arrived. Artistic License is in good form, and performed more than creditably when giving weight away; she gains from some here today, and backers can be sure she'll run her race. Raggle Taggle narrowly beat Prettie Bonnie last time out when having half a stone in hand; that could be reversed today with them much closer in the weights. More than half of these have winning form behind them this season, but our support goes to Perfect Pride.
