Verdict

Bird For Life is a previous C&D scorer and should run well enough, though a career-best is needed on these terms for win purposes. Penny Poet travelled like the winner for much of the journey recently at Wolverhampton over a longer trip before finding less than desired. The drop in distance may help, but that finishing effort was tough to enjoy. Art Of Swing shaped nicely in a Wolverhampton claimer and could go well under Rossa Ryan for new connections but ARLECCHINO'S ARC was thumping at the door earlier in the year at Chelmsford and may shed the maiden tag upped in trip off a break.
