Maraased is the one to beat here and should prove too strong for Never Ending Tale and Classic Remark. The selection hails from a yard in flying form and has done more than enough on his two starts to suggest that a maiden win is a formality. He wasn't given a hard time on debut in a strong Newmarket maiden that is working out well enough before failing to handle the track at Chester in another decent heat. He can gain compensation here. Classic Remark ran in an Oaks trial here last time and should win a race but she can be found easier opportunities than this and it would be no surprise were Hendersyde to emerge as a bigger danger. Market support for this expensive newcomer with a smart American pedigree would be worth noting. Never Ending Tale, showed considerable promise on debut, will be suited by this longer trip and has to enter calculations but Maraased may have the answer.
