It's difficult to have much confidence in any of this bunch but LOUD went close at Chelmsford on his penultimate start and the course and distance winner gets only a token vote. Artbeat was runner-up over 6f in a classified event here before being well beaten in a handicap while Marmooz finished fourth over track and trip back in December. Bionic Indian has slid down the weights and makes his debut on the Fibresand today.
