An ordinary maiden can go to Arabian Gleam, who wasn't beaten far on debut and can use the experience to get the better of Dirty Dancing and Hartmann. The last named was as green as grass when he missed the break on his debut at Kempton and he can be forgiven that effort. He was not given a hard time when it was evident he would not be winning and, as an expensive purchase, he has be given respect. Dirty Dancing is a well-bred type that represents a top yard. However, he may need slightly further to be seen to best effect and may need more time. However, Arabian Gleam really caught the eye on debut here and, being by Kyllachy, he is likely to be ideally suited by the drop in trip.
