Sarah's Art gets the narrow vote here over Red Vixen and My Reflection. The selection is lightly-raced and he put in a really encouraging effort last time over this course and distance when second behind Limited Magician. The blinkers were applied for the first time that day and as they are on again he should take plenty of beating. Red Vixen rates the main danger as she was a cosy winner over 7f and a combination of her penalty and the drop in trip may just find her out. My Reflection finished behind Red Vixen last time but should do better on these revised terms, while Stoneacre Girl is another with an each way chance. However, for the winner we will stick with Sarah's Art.
