Verdict

It is hard to get away from SHABIB in division one of this maiden; the list of dangers include Dice and Muzmin. Barry Hills has got his string in good order at present and Shabib can provide him with another winner. He has shaped with plenty of promise on each of his three starts and he looks to have been found a good opportunity today. Dice showed improved form to finish third behind Definightly back in September in a race that has worked out well. He is returning from a break today and tackling this trip for the first time but he has an obvious chance. Muzmin was well beaten on his debut at Thirsk last year over 1m. He is dropped in trip today but he will need to improve to make his mark. The draw could have been kinder to Chris Wall's Precious Secret, and we will stick with Shabid who can get his head in front at the fourth time of asking.
