Masideha didn't have a lot to beat when a winning odds-on favourite for an 11f Catterick maiden last month but there should be more to come from Sir Michael Stoute's charge and is handed the TEAMtalk vote. The son of Selkirk could hardly have been more impressive when scoring by five lengths having made all and looks the type to follow with a confidence booster behind him. The consistent Collier Hill gained a deserved success at Ayr last week and should give another good account off a 4lb higher mark. Court Of Appeal showed signs of a return to winning form on his latest start and rates a danger but Vicious Prince is likely to find conditions too lively.
