Verdict

Artisan Dancer's only decent run came when beaten a head at Southwell and he finished a long way last at Haydock. Stablemate Captain Potter hasn't progressed from his opening run at Newcastle but Cosmic View didn't look suited by front-running at Goodwood. ROGUE TORNADO hadn't shown much in maidens but it was a different matter when tackling fast going for the first time at Yarmouth when he only failed by a neck to concede 4lb to the winner. Normal progress can see him off the mark though Natacata is the fly in the ointment as she steps up markedly in trip and any money for her should be duly noted.
