Richard Hannon is responsible for three of the eleven runners here and we will select the Ryan Moore ridden Caveral to come out top of the trio, however for the winner we will side with Art Work, Island Rapture may do best of the remainder. John Gosden's three-year-old landed a Nottingham, maiden with the minimum of fuss before finishing a close up fifth behind Spring Goddess on her handicap bow at Lingfield. She may prove to be a better horse on turf and with improvement still expected she looks the best alternative. Caveral has contested some top handicaps this season without much success. However, as a consequence she is now down a very tempting mark and it would be no surprise to see her involved in the finish. Island Rapture has been knocking on the door all season in similar company and can be expected to run her usual solid race. All Quiet and Madhavi, the two other Hannon runners should be watched closely in the betting, but Art Work has more scope for improvement than most of these and is a confident choice.
