It was soft ground when Zapper Cass won at Nottingham in between his more normal modest efforts while Muscika failed to cope with a 5lb rise at Ayr last time having won at the same track before that. It remains to be seen how ART OBSESSION copes with a 3lb rise for winning at Doncaster but he’s shown progressive form this year and is taken to confirm latest running with Duke Cosimo and go in again. The veteran Singeur has 10 wins to his credit but all of them came over the minimum trip.
