We finish the meeting off with the second division of the sprint handicap and like the first this looks competitive but hopefully MULLGLEN can get his head in front from Green Park and Lucky Art. The selection made an encouraging reappearance over the course and distance 15 days ago. After being behind early the Easterby horse got into contention by halfway only to find his path blocked inside the final furlong and then was eased. That was quite a competitive heat and Mullglen should have come on for the run. Green Park finished second to the improving Hawkeyethenoo on his last start after a small break and was the only horse that looked like troubling the winner. That was an encouraging run and being a course and distance winner must have a chance if in the same form. Lucky Art has come down the handicap steadily since last June and now looks on a very winnable mark. Ruth Carr was back amongst the winners last week which is also a good sign. He was also third on his last start which was an approved effort so he must come into the picture. Ryan Style must be monitored after his latest Wolverhampton victory and if he handles the switch to turf he could be a big player.
