Rothesay Dancer, Inaminute and Inchdhuaig are the three to concentrate on in this maiden and the vote is given to Rothesay Dancer. The selection is beginning to look exposed but she did nothing wrong last time at Musselburgh when only narrowly beaten by Mimiteh. A reproduction of that effort should suffice here and she is taken to score. Inaminute made a pleasing debut when fourth behind Maggie Minx at Pontefract. She is sure to benefit from that experience but the suspicion is that she will be better over further in time and for that reason we are happy to take her on. Inchdhuaig has shown some ability on both of her runs to date but she is drawn in stall 15 and that will make life tough for her today. Walnut Grove improved for her debut run at Catterick when fourth behind Titus Maximus at Musselburgh last time, and from a good draw she is worth considering. However, Rothesay Dancer has the plum draw in stall 1 and she is given one more chance to get her head in front.
