Gary Moore makes life interesting with two runners in this affair and SILASTAR arrives off the back of a solid effort in defeat at Goodwood. Copperknob has exhibited the pick of his form on a softer surface but Hector Crouch knows the maiden well. Spanish Hustle landed a prize here last year at chunky odds and he returns to the Flat after an inauspicious spell over hurdles. Caesar's Palace has participated in some decent maidens and a visor is applied for the first time while Silver Bubble lost her maiden tag over the track and trip a fortnight ago.
