Mrs Mac Veale is still a maiden and may need a confidence booster after falling over fences at Listowel. VALOURS MINION is still a maiden after 22 career starts but has been running well enough to finally lose that maiden tag in a poor contest. Zara has shown a little bit of potential while it would be no surprise to see an improved run from Drive On Locky, who had a recent run on the Flat behind stablemate Caim Hill. He Is Top Class has form figures that hardly inspire but he has bits and pieces of form that would put him into the frame.
