Joseph O'Brien has been unable to find a race for BOLD RIBB but a mark of 77 should be good enough to land what looks an ordinary maiden despite the fact he's been a beaten favourite in three of his last four starts. The stable also run Sea Oscar, who started out with William Haggas before moving to France where he showed little form including on the all-weather at Deauville. Circles has been running quite well in minor handicaps and was only beaten a short-head here in November so could provide the main threat. Search For Thestar looks best of the remainder.
