In depth
Verdict
A trappy maiden here and as usual in these events the market will be very informative but the principals look to be Rubilini, Fantastic Cee and Waqaarr and the narrow vote is given to the last named. The selection was a fair sixth on his debut behind Fustan despite running green and he looks sure to improve for the step up in trip and with improvement likely he looks the one to be on. Fantastic Cee rates the main danger as he is a well bred sort and was a fair sixth behind Barshiba on his debut. He is another that is sure to improve and should be noted in the market. Rubilini has run with promise on both his starts to date but he looks the stable's second string on jockey bookings. Of the remainder Warm Embraces is a well bred sort from a yard that can ready a newcomer so he is worth a cautionary look in the market but he has been done no favours by the draw and with this in mind for the winner we are happy to return to Waqaarr.
