Intimate Art has the best form of those with racecourse experience but was a losing favourite at Chepstow when stepped up to today’s distance. He’s worth taking on with a newcomer and there is a few of them to consider, especially if the betting speaks in their favour, including Habbad, Esprit De Corps and Radjash. Teqany cost 380,000gns and is another to monitor but the speculative vote goes to MELTING DEW, a half-brother to Group 1 winner Winsili with Ryan Moore doing the steering.
