A few of these have a handicap rating and BASTILLE DAY's mark of 78 would usually be good enough to win an ordinary maiden. The latter wasn't beaten far when fourth at Newmarket last time and should have the measure of both Swordbearer and Locommotion on these terms. A couple of the less-exposed types may prove a threat though Snoozing Indian was still beaten a long way when runner-up on his debut at Southwell while The Salmon Man might appreciate an even longer trip. Putaringonit is related to a couple of winners and a newcomer to note.
