Verdict

This is a poor maiden and shouldn't take much winning though most of the entries have been racing over further. They include IBELIEVEINMIRACLES, who runs over the minimum trip for the first time but whose best efforts have been over 6f. It's a big surprise to see My Chum over this trip as she was noted staying on over 1m1f at Wexford last time so a bigger threat may emerge in the shape of Grand Caruso, who led for a long way when a close third behind Laldie over 6f at Fairyhouse. Perino showed promise on her opening run last year but was beaten a long way on her return in May and is wearing blinkers for the first time.
