Terry's Tip has shown promise in each of his last two starts and being by Namid may be able to handle the underfoot conditions but preference is for Italian Art, with Actabou rated the pick of the remainder. The selection, who is by soft ground influence Captain Rio, made a pleasing start to his career when a creditable third on soft ground at Haydock last month. Granted natural improvement for that outing, Italian Art looks the one they all have to beat. Richard Hannon's filly Melt would have claims if stepping up on her debut effort, while Lord Sandicliffe ran better here last time but is unproven on this surface. Actabou looks to be going the right way and would have to be respected if handling the cut in the ground but there are no concerns on that score for Italian Art who is hard to oppose.
