    Verdict

    ICE TROOPER seems to have been found a good opportunity to get off the mark as only three rivals turn up to challenge him in this maiden, although Isotonic wouldn't have to be that special to win on debut and Beyaz Villas has experience to call on. Having shown clear progression in four starts the selection was only held a head on his latest attempt and although improvement should be forthcoming a similar run would probably be enough. Isontonic is related to a few winners so it wouldn't be a surprise to see a big run first time up while Dandy Nicholls has had a few winners lately and Beyaz Villas doesn't have a great deal to find to feature. Eilean Mor took a step back after a promising run but the trainer's record at this track need respecting but Ice Trooper sets the clear standard and should be hot stuff in this race.
