Recent Ripon winner Lucky Art is sure to be a popular choice bidding for a hat-trick off a 9lb lower mark back on the all-weather. However, he was all out when a narrow margin winner over C&D on his penultimate start and has yet to produce his best turf form on the Fibresand. As a consequence he may be worth taking on with CLEAR ICE, who found only Saturday's Thirsk winner Dickie Le Davoir too good over C&D a fortnight ago. Attrition and Kheley have place claims but Memphis Man has yet to show his best on this surface.
