Verdict
The most exposed runners are closely matched on official figures but Henson may prove best of those. He's run well in maidens the last twice but Duchess Andorra was still well beaten despite finishing runner-up at Galway. Hannah's Magic is another frustrating type and drops back to a mile for this, as does Thomas Wedgwood who has shown nothing over 1m4f so far. Any strong support for SALARIAQ would be of interest as she's related to a host of winners. Tommy Stack's newcomer gets a speculative vote with Keith Moriarty's allowance further helping her cause.
