Lucky Art has won four times already this year and could hardly have scored more easily on his last two starts but he's 10lb higher here and this is tougher. Tim Easterby's horses remain in fine shape and though Medici Time produced a shock when scoring at York there was no fluke about the result and he's good enough to win this if at his best. Taurus Twins has been steadily climbing the ratings and looks a little close to Medici Time as does Chaussini, despite her 10-length victory in a Yarmouth maiden. CATFISH carried a big weight to victory over 6f at Leicester and is racing over the minimum trip for the first time but she made all that day and her basic speed can enable her to lead all the way.
