        In depth

        Verdict

        Whistle On By sets the standard in this maiden after three good efforts in better company but the feeling is that GUIDED MISSILE will only have to improve a little from his debut to get on top. Andrew Balding's runner is related to plenty of sprint winners so there is every chance there should be plenty more progress to come now he knows his job that bit better. Steenbok is well-bred and from top connections but will need more improvement than he's shown so far in a couple of starts while Captain Noble left behind his debut run with an improved effort here last time and should also show more again.
