Verdict

Artzola can come out on top in this handicap; the list of dangers is headed by Moonshine Creek and Looks The Business. The selection was an eyecatcher at Kempton last time when she was third behind Floodlight Fantasy. She has won here in the past and she could be worth following today. Moonshine Creek was making his seasonal return at Bath last time, so it was a decent effort to finish fifth behind Terminate. He should strip fitter today and it would be no surprise to see him make the frame. Looks The Business failed to live up to his name last time at Brighton, and its nearly two years since he last won in this grade. Ground Patrol is a course and distance winner who can go well at a price, but Artzola showed enough last time to suggest that her turn would not be far away and she is put forward as the pick.
