Dolphin Vista arrives in fine form but is upped in class off a 7lb higher mark after scoring at Ripon last month. He had earlier beaten King's Pavilion though the latter still re-opposes on better terms despite a 5lb rise for winning at Epsom last week. Mutamakkin is getting steadily closer without yet threatening to win a handicap while Franklin D drops back in distance in a first-time visor after placing at Newmarket. SECRET ART (NAP) won at Newmarket in September and was third over course and distance on his latest outing. Bill Knight’s charge should go close again racing off the same mark today.
