French Art is probably worth opposing again and we'll take him on with Moville. The selection lacks a run this season but his juvenile form entitles him to serious consideration today. His debut saw him finish within six lengths of City Leader, he then chased home Centennial before a slightly disappointing run in a maiden won by Kandahar Run. He should have more to offer this season and the market should be informative. French Art was disappointing at Goodwood in a maiden in which Mohathab showed improved form to finish fourth. The former has been beaten again since but the latter appears to be heading the right way. Acrostic went close last time and is respected on that run whilst the market will hopefully point the way with regard to the newcomers but Moville's juvenile form just about sets the standard and he's suggested.
