The winner may come from MUNSARIM, Al Zir or Awesome Act. King's Best won this maiden in 1999 whilst Wingwalker and Delegator filled the first two places last season so it's a race to watch closely. Not surprisingly a number of the field hold Group race entries for this season and the market should prove to be fascinating. Al Zir cost a pretty penny and the yard has assembled a good team of juveniles but the majority of them have tended to progress from their debuts and he may just need this. Awesome Act hails from a yard that can get them ready first time out but their juveniles haven't set the world alight yet this season although they've only had a handful of runners. The Stoute yard has only sent out one juvenile runner this term so Treble Jig may be best watched. Tesslam may be of more interest with the Jarvis juveniles showing up well and there's plenty in his pedigree to suggest that he'll be precocious. The suggestion is Munsarim whose peer group at Castle Stables have also made an impact on the track. He's yet another colt in this line-up with a smart pedigree and a raft of big race entries. Activate, Rum King and Whistle Blower may lack the lofty ambitions of some of their rivals but all represent trainers who are accorded respect. This is a race to set the video for, Munsarim receives the hopeful nomination.
