CITY SELECTIONS Oriental Art has recorded some creditable efforts on turf recently, culminating in a good second in a handicap at Brighton over 1m2f. He remains of interest if transferring that form to the all-weather, but CAMPESE looks set to benefit from a drop in trip having finished second over 2m at this track on his latest outing. He represents a reputable stable and is entitled to go well, along with Miss Blennerhasset after she finished third on her handicap bow. CAMPESE
