Dropping back down to the minimum trip should see KEY ART finally live up to his early promise but the progressive Bridge Valley looks a big danger if proving speedy enough at this distance while Wellington Fair could improve into the picture. The selection was looking to be heading in the right direction before disappointing when stepping up in trip last time. While that run is a little concerning his form in front of listed winner Jira on debut and his run behind a useful sort last time very much sets the standard. Bridge Valley has improved with every start so far but is yet to try this trip. His pedigree suggests he should get it and if he does he looks a real challenger. Wellington Fair ran an encouraging debut and although the form is beginning to work out from that, it's not spectacular while Henry Candy's Felsham, who is bred for this trip, is the most interesting newcomer. This is an intriguing maiden where Key Art should score.
