Verdict

Another small field goes to post for this maiden and the market may prove the best guide as to what is expected but the principals look to be Kentmere, Olivander and Kibryaa and we will take a chance on Olivander who was a good second on his debut behind Blue Tomato. He is sure to have learnt from the experience and with conditions again in his favour he will be hard to beat. Kentmere is also worthy of respect he was a good second on his debut behind Imperial Echo but he gave the impression on that occasion that he would be seen to much better effect over a longer trip so for that reason he is opposed on this occasion. Kibryaa was a good second behind Ringsider last time out but that horse is trained by Gerard Butler so he should know where he stands with Olivander. Of the remainder May bach is from a top yard and is worth noting in the market but we are happy to side with Olivander.
