      Verdict

      ACQUISITION gets the strong vote to win this maiden with both Monaco Dream and Borromeo worth noting. The selection caught the eye on his debut when finishing fourth of eleven at Windsor. He ran very green that day and is expected to improve dramatically for the experience. Henry Cecil has his team of horses in good order at present and with further improvement still to come he is difficult to oppose. Monaco Dream has more race experience than most of her rivals having run well in all three of her races. She has continued to improve each time she has run and ran a personal best when second of eleven behind Flame Of Gibraltar at Lingfield so warrants plenty of respect. Borromeo has finished mid division in both his maiden races to date. He didn¿t really show any improvement from his debut outing and my fair better once running in handicaps. Acquisition looks the most interesting on paper and is the preferred pick.
