Artist should be in Redcar frame

Career-low mark of 66 should favour daughter of Dutch Art

DUTCH ARTIST

might be worth a little interest in a seven-furlong handicap at Redcar.

Luck will be needed as a huge field has been declared at the Tees Valley circuit, yet this daughter of Dutch Art remains attractively handicapped for new trainer Alan Brown.

She rather lost her way for David O’Meara, so it was nice to see her kick on at Pontefract last time on what was her third outing for Brown.

Dutch Artist did not get the breaks in Yorkshire and ended up finishing third, but it was reassuring to see her respond to Phil Makin’s persuasions when push came to shove.

A winner over seven furlongs last May, she is good enough to make an honourable fist of things off a careerlow mark of 66. WOLFTRAP can be trusted to bring home the bacon in the John Deere Handicap Hurdle at Wincanton.

Philip Hobbs’ eight-year-old bumped into a tartar on his most recent spin at Uttoxeter last month as Souriyan proved much too sharp in a handicap hurdle just shy of three miles.

That rival duly followed up at Stratford and was then considered good enough to run in the Silver Trophy at Chepstow last weekend.

Wolftrap is highly unlikely to run into a similar sort of progressive animal at Wincanton, where he races off the same mark of 110. SELECTIONS: REDCAR: 1.30 Wrenthorpe, 2.00 Montague, 2.35 So Celebre, 3.10 Stephensons Rocket, 3.45 Dutch Artist, 4.20 Dandys Denouement, 4.55 Relevant, 5.25 Decima.
