BID ART and Space Cowboy are weighted to be very close to each other after their last confrontation but we think the weights just favour a repeat result with Great Tsar the possible fly in the ointment. The pick's run behind Wisenfurst last time should look a whole lot better by the time we get to this race and he did beat his main rival 14 lengths over course and distance in April. Jockey Jimmy Derham is great value for his 5lbs claim and that weight removal should just give him the edge again. Space Cowboy does go well here but is perhaps better over further. There's not much wrong with the form of his run last time and he should go very close. Great Tsar was moving like the winner when unseating his pilot on his last start and off the same mark has every chance while Post It is consistent and looks booked to give his running. This looks quite competitive but Bid Art looks weighted to win it under an in-from pilot.
