Verdict
Restless Bay is the benchmark in this maiden but having shown no progress in his last two starts a better bet should be HARRY LUCK. Henry Candy's runners showed a decent improvement from a debut run to not be held far in a race that has worked out well. Azrael has also progressed well in two starts and more is expected again while Enabling should be better than he's shown on debut. This shouldn't take much winning and with mild improvement Harry Luck looks the one.
