Verdict
Magic City may not have run up to the form of his debut success when runner-up at Ascot but MISS WORK OF ART was still an impressive winner that day and Richard Fahey has been singing her praises in his column. She can get the better of Queens Revenge, who should progress from a narrow debut win at Ripon when subsequent Newmarket winner Princess Banu was among those behind. Pyman's Theory looked useful when scoring by five lengths at Leicester and Vocational won a potentially-informative maiden at Warwick on her introduction, though could find this sharp 5f an insufficient test of stamina.
