There is very little form for backers to go on here and some interesting newcomers line up in this second division of the seven-furlong maiden including Hydrant and Lethal Glaze but they will need to be decent to get the better of Imaam, who gets the vote to open his account. The selection lost no caste in defeat on his debut when chasing home the useful looking Weald Park and John Dunlop's colt will be unfortunate to find one as good as that in opposition today. Mick Channon's King's Best colt Arabian Flame and Roger Charlton's Old Street, a son of Dansili, both represent yards that are more than capable of producing a juvenile to win first time up and have to be considered. Brian Meehan's Greensward is bred to be useful but is also bred more for speed so may find one or two of these that stay better over this trip and of more interest may be Hydrant. Peter Chapple-Hyam's colt is well related and any market support for him should be noted. Richard Hannon has a line to Imaam through Weald Park for his runner Lethal Glaze, who is bred to be useful but Imaam showed plenty of promise first time up and is taken to go one better today.
