    Verdict

    The market could prove instructive but it might be worth going along with CHOKUREI, even though she's the only member of the quartet yet to make the frame. Clive Cox's filly showed promise in two mid-division maiden finishes last term, notably when nicely supported in a decent Newbury contest and looks certain to improve this time around. His Grace and Bahri Sheen have shown sufficient ability to suggest a small maiden is within their capabilities, although both ended their respective juvenile campaigns with disappointing efforts. Alpha Delta Whisky was much improved last time after a poor debut effort.
