Uprise has gone close on a couple of occasions but his best efforts have been on the Polytrack at Wolverhampton and he may be worth opposing here with ART FORM. Alan McCabe's filly has run well in all three starts, including over this C&D on debut, and Kieren Fallon has the reins today. None of the newcomers stand out on breeding and the remainder with experience look a fairly modest bunch, though Vizean was second on six separate occasions last year and also placed in a Chester handicap last month.
