City Stable is given the nod in this maiden, while Hollins and Dazzling Light look the main dangers. The Sir Michael Stoute-trained selection reverts to this company after an abortive handicap debut at Leicester in April. He has had plenty of time to get over that and any possible ailments that resulted, this trip looks ideal, and a repeat of any of his maiden efforts from last year would probably be good enough here. Dazzling Light is also kept to a maiden after three promising runs in this company have seen her given a mark of 75. It is interesting that Roger Charlton tries again and does not go handicapping yet, and she can go close. Hollins is another kept to this grade and he has run well in defeat on four of his five starts. He stays further than this, acts at the track and likes the ground, so he is very much respected. Alan Swinbank's Another Moment has some useful bumper form to his name and should get this trip, so he is worth a look in the market, but the others look to have plenty to find and we'll take City Stable to score.
