Not a strong maiden and one that can be taken by Radius, with Cativo Cavallino, Perfect Treasure and Billy Bling others to consider. The Hughie Morrison-trained selection was short-headed over course and distance last time out in November, and looks to have been found an opportunity here. He gets every yard of the trip, clearly acts on the track, and if he can reproduce that effort it should be good enough. Cativo Cavallino has largely been campaigned at the minimum trip thus far and was not far away when running third here in November behind Overwing. He is still unproven over six furlongs, however, and after his last effort at Wolverhampton he has a bit to prove. Perfect Treasure came to win his race last time but was pipped by Matuza over c&d. Strictly on the book she'd need to improve a bit to win here, but that may not be beyond her and we don't rule her out lightly, while Billy Bling made a marked improved in two starts at Wolverhampton and is interesting on his first outing here. But Radius looks the most solid option in the race and is taken to score.
