We like the look of Eurolink Artemis in this extended nine-furlong affair, with Six Pack and Iamback rated his biggest danger. The selection Eurolink Artemis comes here in on the back of successive wins, the first of which was over course and distance. She is clearly in good heart at present and looks set to go well again in her bid for the hat-trick. Turning to the others. Bevier is a course and distance winner whose best form gives him big claims, although we feel he might be better over a longer trip these days. Galey River's 10-furlong win at Lingfield in April reads pretty well but his only run so far on this surface was uninspiring, while Iamback is another to place in the mix if putting his best foot forward. The winning chaser Six Pack would also hold solid claims if repeating his second to Fraamtastic here over a slightly-shorter trip two runs ago, and he has run well at Lingfield subsequently. Course and distance winner Western Command's losing run now stands at 42, while Super Dominion, who is also a course and distance winner, is possibly opposable overall even though his best recent Turf form gives him a chance. This leaves Time To Regret, who is hard to fancy given that he has not run for 271 days and has never raced on this surface. Overall, then, this leads us back to the selection, which is Eurolink Artemis.
