Verdict

There are plenty with claims in a wide-open contest. Musselburgh winner Moonlight Navigator may prove best of the recent maiden winners including Berland, Only Joking and Al Rayyan. But this is tougher than the seller Stardrfiter won at Catterick while Azraff has been raised 10lb for winning on his handicap debut at Newmarket. A winner at Beverley, SPECIAL VENTURE (NAP) found only Grigolo too good handicapping for the first time in a Class 2 contest at Goodwood. The latter has gone in again since and Tim Easterby's colt gets the nod on the strength of that form.
