Verdict
Ridley Didley will need to improve again off today's mark if he's to follow-up his recent C&D success. He had Spirit Of Coniston and Kyzer Chief behind last time and they'll both be breathing down his neck here, while Wicked Wilma finished ahead of Ignatieff and Bahamian Ballet at Hamilton last month but was beaten three lengths herself. LUCKY ART hails from a stable in flying form and, only 3lb higher than April's win at Ripon and dropped in class today, Ruth Carr's charge can return to winning ways.
