Verdict

Adaptation gets the confident vote to win this maiden with Our Toy Soldier and Mr Wall Street rating the main dangers. The selection was a good second on his debut behind Majestic Roi, he is sure to have learnt from the experience and with improvement likely and his yard in better form he is impossible to oppose. Our Toy Solider rates the main danger on his best form but he has not progressed of late and has had plenty of chances so he looks worth taking on. Mr Wall Street showed a modicum of ability on his debut and is another that is sure to improve but the suspicion is he will be seen to better effect over a longer trip in time. Perfect Reflection looks outclassed and for the winner we return to Adaptation who will be hard to beat.
