Verdict

Artistic Work looks best of those with experience but this should go to a newcomer. WORDSWORTH, a full-brother to St Leger winner Kew Gardens and is related to many other winners, is by Galileo out of a two-year-old Group 1 winner and can make a winning start. Seamie Heffernan picks him over High Definition, another son of Galileo and a full-brother to Group 3 winner Innisfree. Mcpherson is by Golden Horn out of a 1m4f winner so should have plenty of stamina while Abstract is a half-brother to a winning two-year-old miler. Chicago Black Hawk cost €150,000 and may prove best of the remainder.
