The Clarehaven team were keen to get some work into the promising three-year-old Lead Artist (Tyler Heard), who covered seven furlongs with a lead horse and is booked for next week’s July festival. 

Owned by Juddmonte, the son of Dubawi is out to follow in the footsteps of the same owner’s Nostrum, who landed the Listed Sir Henry Cecil Stakes a year ago.
