Art Exhibition should prove tough to beat here; Ostinata and Trip The Light can also go well here. The selection is a nice colt and he ran a solid race when only finding the well-backed Black Dahlia too good last time. He can gain his compensation here and it will be a surprise if he gets beat. Ostinata ran well enough here last time when a close fourth behind A Dream Come True. She has also got winning form here and if she sees out this longer trip then she is entitled to go well. Trip The Light was an eyecatcher last time out at Southwell when he encountered plenty of trouble in-running. The longer trip seemed to suit him that day and granted some luck here he can get competitive. Paul The Carpet is the only course and distance winner in the field so he can go well at a price, but for the winner we will stick with Art Exhibition who should be suited by this longer trip.
