Another large field goes to post for this maiden but there is plenty of dead wood and the principals look to be Crete,Registrar and Kingdom of Dreams and the confident vote is given to Crete. The selection was a good third behind Tilt in a similar race last time out, this looks easier and he need only run up to that mark to score. Registrar rates the main danger on his latest second behind All That And More at Beverley. This easier track should suit and he should be noted in the market. Kingdom Of Dreams was a fair third behind Mystery Lot last time out and is another with place claims but he looked fairly one paced on that occasion so the drop in trip is not sure to suit. Of the remainder Hue is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but he has had plenty of chances and is more exposed than most so he may be vulnerable to a less exposed type and for the winner we return to Crete.
