Verdict

With so many top yards represented, Newmarket maidens will never be easy to fathom out and with that in mind only a small investment in All Action is recommended; Starshine heads the list of Sir Michael Stoute's trio of contenders, while it's difficult to surmise whether Reality Show or Cape Dutch will be the more forward of the two Godolphin-owned runners. The former cost 105,000f so might be expected to fly the flag for the boys in blue. John Gosden pitches in with William Van Gogh, who did show plenty of zest on his reappearance, so he might not have to wait too long to collect his first paycheck. However, All Action was an real eye-catcher in defeat on debut in a steadily run Newbury maiden last month. And, given the likelihood a stronger pace; the daughter of Storm Cat can be fancied to provide a test too far for her inexperienced rivals.
