Verdict
Having returned to form with a second over 1m6f at Salisbury, Media Mogul merits consideration. However, the drop back in distance could leave him vulnerable to a speedier rival and preference is for PAPPA LOUIS. The son of Showcasing arrives on the back of a runner-up effort at Catterick and a 1lb drop in the ratings may prove fruitful. The up-in-trip Telecommunication is also worth close inspection.
Expert View Verdict
RECORD ART has been in good form over hurdles and is well handicapped here if translating that form to the Flat. He is obviously a risky proposition. Media Mogul looks a threats generally being consistent and effective in conditions. At a price and extremely risky is Pappa Louis who seems to have breathing problems but has still been running close to his mark. This better ground will suit.
