Marc of Brilliance gets the vote in this maiden with Curragh Dancer and Mutamarres rating the main dangers. The selection is a well bred Sunday Silence colt out of a lightly-raced mare from the family of Mark Of Esteem and with his stable beginning to hit top form he looks a likely winner. Curragh Dancer rates the main danger is a stable companion of the selection and is sure to have come on for his debut run so should be monitored in the market. Mutamarres is a Green Desert colt out of an unraced mare from a top yard and is another that should be watched in the market. Of the remainder Feu d'Artifice was a fair third on his debut behind Shogun Prince and is another that looks sure to improve but in a race where the market will be very informative for the winner we return to Marc of Brilliance.
