In depth

Verdict

Flying Patriarch, Ma Yahab and Common Girl are three against the field in division two of this maiden hurdle and the narrow vote is given to Flying Patriarch. The selection was a fair sixth in a much better race behind L'oudon last time out and need only reproduce that effort to win this much easier affair. Ma Yahab rates the main danger on his best form and although he was well beaten last time out behind The Pursuader this is much easier and he should be noted in the market. Common Girl is another that could go well but she has had plenty of chances and at likely odds she looks worth opposing. Of the remainder Blazing The Trail showed a modicum of ability on his debut and is sure to have come on for the run so he should go well at a price but in a race where stakes should be kept to a minimum for the winner we return to Flying Patriarch.
