Art Power is penalised for winning a Group 3 sprint at the Curragh while Tinker Toy carries a 3lb penalty having landed a Listed race over 7f here early in the year. Lord Of The Lodge returns from a lay-off and Clifford Lee partners stablemate EXALTED ANGEL, who finished ahead of both Mums Tipple and Strong Power when third in Listed company at Lingfield last month. Karl Burke’s charge should go close with a similar effort and is also preferred to Haziym, who has placed in a Group 3 in France and debuts for new connections.
