A distinct absence of early speed so don't expect any records to be broken. The well-related EQUINE ART (6) (half to G2 winner and 2xG1 placed Glenfiddich) has been knocking on the door of a maiden victory hitting the top-four in four of five starts this campaign and strikes a winnable contest here. Regular rider Dempsey sticks and looks the one they all have to run down. IMMEDIATE (8) is first-up for the new barn but the form she showed when last in work was good enough for a race like this. Can feature while fresh. CRYPTIC BEAUTY (9) has been just behind the placings in both starts to date and Jones stays on top. Among the main hopes. NORTHERN EAGLE (2) has revved up for this with a recent trial placing and looks one for the multiples. YOYO YEEZY (3) also hails from a handy family (half to G1 winner Uncommon James) and can improve enough to play a role in the finish. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Trifecta 6,8,9,2.
