MUSICAL BRIDGE showed a model of consistency without getting his head in front as a two year old and is taken to break his maiden tag on his seasonal reappearance, while both Keep Dancing and Ariadnes Filly are likely dangers. The selection finished second three times last season and looked unlucky not to have won. He has course form which is a big advantage on such a quick track and as long as he has trained on he looks difficult to oppose. Keep Dancing has been a beaten favourite on each of his last three starts. He showed a good level of form last season but he was a shade disappointing at Nottingham last time out when finishing sixth of twelve and it maybe the case that he has not trained on as a three year old. Ariadnes Filly shaped with promise on her return to the track at Salisbury last time out. She is sure to do better this season and it will not be long before she breaks her maiden tag so she is worth monitoring in the betting market. This looks an open looking maiden but Musical Bridge has more experience than most and will not be far away come the business end of the race.
