Verdict

Art Of Unity has never won in 14 starts on Turf and though he's dropped in the ratings he was beaten off this mark here last time and was a long way behind GOPSIES DAUGHTER here in July. The latter later completed a double at the Curragh and finished strongly when fourth here ten days ago so gets the vote. Gottardo has only won at Dundalk and is better over an extra furlong but Dash D'Or would have to be considered if the going doesn't ease as though her victory over Mercury at Naas was over 6f she was only beaten narrowly over this track and trip earlier.
