      Verdict

      Artistic Style, Anduril and Dunaskin are three against the field in this tight handicap and the confident vote is given to Artistic Style. The selection was a fair fourth in a better race behind Isidore Bonheur last time out. This looks easier and she need only run up to that mark to win this. Anduril rates the main danger on her latest fourth behind Sri Diamond. That form has since been franked but she is becoming hard to win with and at likely odds she looks worth opposing. Dunaskin is another worthy of respect on his best form but he has disappointed of late so can not be put forward with any confidence. Of the remainder Byron Bay is from a yard in form and could go well at a price off his feather weight while Danelor looks weighted up to his best and for the winner we return to Artistic style.
