Verdict

There's little between Viscount Vert and Plym on their running over 6f here last time and they look the best of those with experience. The latter's stablemate Gold Sceptre cost 62,000 euros and Richard Hannon won this last year with a debutant, but Shamrocked and the Sir Percy colt Cavaleiro may be seen in a better light over further. A chance is taken on another newcomer in ART LAW, who is half-brother to a juvenile winner and hails from a yard that has enjoyed a good deal of success with its two-year-olds at this track.
