FormscanBy Alan Magee - ART POWER won this in runaway fashion 12 months ago and is well capable of a repeat. The Tim Easterby-trained sprinter is not far off the best as evidenced by his third in the Diamond Jubilee Stakes at Royal Ascot last year and ran too freely on his belated seasonal debut at York last month before stumbling at the start in the Group 1 Betfair Sprint Cup at Haydock. Sam Maximus probably put in a career best when landing a Listed race over this trip at Newmarket last time and is now fitted with a visor. Power Under Me won a Listed race at Cork earlier this year and wasn’t disgraced under a welter burden in the valuable Bold Lad Handicap here a fortnight ago. Just Beautiful won a Group 3 at Doncaster last year and now tries this trip for the first time on his second start for current connections.
