Hawk Eyed Lady, Fast Feet and River N' Blues form the shortlist in this maiden and the vote is given to Hawk Eyed Lady. The selection was a decent third behind Haybrook at Wolverhampton last week and that looks the best form on show here. This is definitely her best trip and with Martin Dwyer doing the steering she can get her head in front. Conversely, Fast Feet is better over the minimum trip and he has also yet to race on the all-weather so there are reasons to take him on today. River N' Blues showed improved form at Newmarket last time and she has a decent draw here. She shaped as though this drop back in trip would suit last time so she is certainly worth considering. There are several interesting newcomers, most notably Classic Fortune, so a watching brief on the market is advised, but for the winner we will stick with Hawk Eyed Lady who looks a progressive filly.
