Beyond Smart has shown enough to suggest he can land an ordinary maiden and William Buick prefers him to stablemate and newcomer Twin Point. Wealth and Salmon Sushi could also figure on their Polytrack debuts, but PRETEND makes more appeal. Charlie Appleby's colt ran out of steam over a mile here when caught by lesser-fancied stablemate Billingsgate on his debut and this shorter trip will suit. Ralph Beckett runs a couple of newcomers with the gelding Secret Archive preferred to Venus Grace.
