        Verdict

        As always watch the market for clues in this maiden where the principals look to be Achilles Of Troy, Party In The Park, American Art and Arab League and we will side with Achilles Of Troy. Aidan O'Brien's traveller will improve plenty for his debut when running green at Naas a couple of weeks ago and is fancied to go one better on ground that should suit. Party In The Park had a similarly encouraging Newbury debut before running out of gas and it will be interesting to see how much he can come on for that. Of the debutantes, the market should give us a clue to the well bred pairing of Arab League and American Art, who will probably both be straight enough to perform well, but without that knowledge we will take Achilles Of Troy to score.
