Formscan  - ART LOVER has improved with every start to date and got off the mark when scoring with plenty in hand at Ffos Las. Any further progression could see William Haggas' colt double up, despite an opening mark of 87. Irish Fighter was found wanting in the Gimcrack but his previous form suggests that he can be competitive in a race of this nature, while the selection's stablemate Magic Stone is another going in the right direction. Others to note are Sword Maker, Peel Park and Sovereign Spell.
