ART DU VAL is in excellent hands and entries in the Gimcrack Stakes at York and the Futurity at the Curragh suggest he's been showing up well on the Newmarket gallops. He's preferred to Leroy Leroy, who shaped very well at Doncaster, and Bo Samraan, representing the powerful Middleham yard of Mark Johnston.
