Verdict

Admirable Art ran three times for Marco Botti and produced an improved display on soft ground at Lingfield so he's one to note on his handicap debut for Tony Carroll. Entwined has produced two good performances over this trip and has to be on the short-list which also includes Thakana on her handicap debut after a good run here last month. SWIFT CEDAR has been ridden by an apprentice on his five starts since Kieren Fallon rode him on his debut and now, back in the saddle, the former champion can steer Alan Jarvis' colt home as he's been unfortunate not to win so far. Millers Wharf was having his 12th start when running his best race to date at Newmarket last week but is another to consider in an open event.
