HELIEORBEA looks the safest option in this maiden with Silk Gallery and Ultimate Respect others to note. The selection has been handed a mark of 75 which is 20lbs higher than that possessed by Silk Gallery who does, at least, have proven form on the ground. Tim Easterby's gelding has never raced with cut though so it would be wrong to dismiss him on that basis alone as he does appear to have been found a soft opportunity. His penultimate run was desperately disappointing but he's been consistent enough on his other outings to believe that he should run his race. Silk Gallery is running well and handles the ground so rates highly in this company although most of the field are unexposed. Ultimate Respect earns respect courtesy of his connections and this is easier than the races he has tackled thus far but it's difficult to take too many positives from his performances although that remark must be qualified by noting that he's shown more than most in this field. Perhaps the added experience and soft ground will be the making of him but we'll play safe with Helieorbea.
