Stanhope hasn't done much wrong so far and Glorious Artist should do better now handicapping. Jumping Around was flying too high last time at Newmarket but Carson City has become disappointing and Benidiction only won a seller here in June when getting off the mark. Nile Empress started favourite at Thirsk after winning over 5f here on her second start but was the first beaten. PRINCE OF COOL has had mixed results since making a winning start at Haydock and was last on his only previous try over 6f. But James Given's colt is given another chance as he has the best overall form.
