Artistic Work finished fifth behind High Definition at the Curragh in August but hasn't made the expected progress. Just in front that day on his debut came Mcpherson, who led 2f out and was only headed in the closing stages. Jessica Harrington's charge looks certain to get into contention a remark that also applies to Roman Empire, an eye-catching fourth behind Southern Cape over 7f here in July and an entry in Saturday's Group 1 Futurity at Doncaster. The latter's stable also run KING OF THE CASTLE, a son of Galileo out of a mare who has produced winners with her first six foals including Serpentine and three other smart winners. He could be an exciting prospect and gets the vote.
