Verdict

Robert Walford's ART DECCO looks to have been found a relatively uncompetitive event in which he can build on his encouraging start to chasing and get off the mark. Plumpton-specialist En Coeur won at that course last time and makes most appeal of the remainder, with Twasn't The Plan taken to fill the frame.
