Verdict

A small field goes to post for this maiden and it looks a straight forward opportunity for Amalianburg. The colt from the Henry Cecil yard was a good second behind Heavenly Bay last time out and a reproduction of that effort would make him hard to beat. Lahob rates the main danger on his latest second behind Alkaased but he has had plenty of chances in this grade and for that reason he is opposed on this occasion. Of the remainder Prideyev is another that has shown a modicum of ability but he still needs to improve to defeat the selection Amalianburg
