A few of these have seen better days but GRAND ART is a possible exception. Surprisingly given a prep race in the Queen Alexandra Stakes at Royal Ascot, he won nicely back over timber at Uttoxeter last month and can follow up here. Estate usually competes at a higher level but may be suffering from a crisis in confidence, though could take all the beating if back on song and makes more appeal than Yeoman Spirit, who is tried in a visor today. Bynack Mhor won over fences at Uttoxeter a year ago but recent efforts hardly inspire confidence.
