Nice Arty is proving inconsistent and posted one of his poorer efforts at Kempton on Tuesday. Larsen Bay was even more disappointing when a losing favourite at Goodwood back in May and steps up from 5f for his reappearance. Jayeff Herring's pedigree suggests he'll be seen in a better light over longer trips in time and a chance is taken on fellow newcomer HADYA. The latter is a half-sister to Group 3 winner Charlie Farnsbarns and is preferred to stablemate Aramadyh.
