Verdict
This could turn out to be a decent maiden and Life looks the one to be on, Waymark and Eulogise could be the best of the newcomers. Marcus Tregoning's expensive colt showed plenty of promise on his Newmarket debut when chasing home an odds on favourite. He looks certain to come on for the run and should be capble of winning a race of this nature. Waymark hails from the in form Michael Jarvis yard and is certainly bred to be smart. He is by Halling out of a Turtle Island mare and if the market speaks in his favour take note. Eulogise is a well bred daughter of Pivotal who should relish the soft ground. My Super Bird looks the pick of the other experienced runners, but we return to Life as the more likely winner.
