The assessor has had a difficult job with Bigger Picture, who had three runs on this type of ground in France in the spring. She could be anything and her yard has a decent strike-rate. The veteran Takitwo is the only course and distance winner and invariably goes well here while Admirable Art ran well on ground too quick at Leicester last week and should be winning soon. SAKASH was having only his sixth start when scoring at Yarmouth in August and though 6lb higher he looks to be progressing fast enough to complete the double. Just Isla has won three times over this trip but appears to favour much faster ground.
