A wide open contest but Artistic Light is steadily improving and can get the better of Grapes of Wrath and Tiger's Rocket. Willie Muir's juvenile is superbly bred and put in her best performance to date when second to a nice sort over the seven furlong trip here. She doesn't look badly treated for her first venture into handicaps and should appreciate the step up in distance. Grapes Of Wrath hasn't exactly set the world alight as yet, but is from a top yard and we may see improvement now she is handicapped. Tiger's Rocket ran well off this mark at Lingfield last time out and could be capable of picking up some place money. Top-weight Miss Bougy Wougy is none too consistent but would have claims on her best form. All in all a tricky little nursery and Artistic Light is just a token choice.
