Artful Lady has two ways of running and has claims if choosing the better one but GAELIC WIZARD is preferred. The latter never figured over 5f on Turf last time but had scored over track and trip before that and gets the nod ahead of French Press, who carries a penalty for his recent win over course and distance. Powerful Pierre is not out of this off his current mark but Trending never figured last time after being raised 8lb for his win at Chepstow.
