Verdict

COURAGE is back in maiden company after a decent sixth in a handicap at Sandown. He's gone very close twice before and can make it third-time lucky in first-time headgear ahead of Miracle Maid. The latter has every chance on her latest second at Newbury to the much higher-rated Banu Wu and she has a few pounds in hand on official ratings with Hunt A Mistress. Roger Ramjet showed a bit of promise on his debut but didn't take to the Fibresand last time while it's worth keeping an eye on the returning Wye Valley.
