With newcomers from the yards of Henry Cecil and John Gosden, this is a more interesting maiden than normal. Both Baisse and Movingly have middle-distance pedigrees and this is a nice start for them but they are taking on a couple of fillies with experience which may just count against them. Hawaafez is another who will stay much further than this next year but she showed plenty of promise behind Club Oceanic over the C&D last month and will have benefited from the run. AL KHATMA can take this as she was unfancied in the race won by Mantatisi at Wolverhampton last month and missed the break. However, she ran on very well over that 7f trip and her stable's juveniles invariably come on for their first run.
