Verdict
Dome Rocket might swerve this race in favour of an engagement at Yarmouth the previous day but even if he does turn up FLEURISSIMO looks to have good claims on this maiden while Chicora should be prominent. This will be the fourth attempt for the pick to break her maidens tag but she has looked mildly progressive and has been a little unlucky to bump into some good sorts. Her performance when only just beaten by Musidora Stakes winner Sariska on her second start rates has strong form and this looks her easiest assignment. Chicora didn't really progress for trying polytrack on his second start last time but his opening run showed enough promise behind a couple of subsequent winners to challenge here. If Dome Rocket does turn up here he would have a chance after some good runs in maidens so far though the ground would be an unknown factor with this one while Kris Kin Line should be noted after a solid debut and with Ryan Moore now on his back. This is a decent little maiden where Fleurissimo is our idea of the winner.
