Hucking Hero could be the answer to this tricky maiden and he is taken to get the better of the likes of Pharaohs Queen and Autumn Charm. The selection has only had the two runs but he has shaped with plenty of promise so far. He does look quite quirky but he wasn't beaten far behind Rosy Alexander at Yarmouth last time and looks to be going the right way. Pharaohs Queen is the one to watch in the market as Ed Dunlop's filly will not have to be anything special to make a winning debut here. However she is bred to be better over further than this and for that reason she is taken on. Autumn Charm was well held on her debut at Brighton but it was still a decent effort for her racecourse introduction and if she improves for the run then she can get competitive. Trainer Ian Wood has three runners in this race so the market could guide in terms of which one, if any, is fancied. However, this looks quite a poor contest and Hucking Hero should be up to taking it.
