Schopenhauer, Moville and French Art look the principals here with Schopenhauer taken to follow up an encouraging effort last time. Moville was made favourite to score on his seasonal bow having run well against some classy types as a juvenile, but he had to settle for third behind a stable companion of the selection. Moville will be sharper for the run but is opposed here. French Art ran well behind the likes of Twice Over last season but has failed to sparkle in his races this term. He did show a little improvement last time but is also taken on. Scopenhauer clearly learnt a great deal from his debut effort, as he stepped up considerably on that when a close, staying on third here last time. Schopenhauer looks a typical Luca Cumani improver, and this son of Giants Causeway gets the vote.
