    Verdict

    Asperity gets the confident vote in this maiden with Life and Motarjm rating the msain dangers. The selection was a good second on his debut behind Duke Of Tuscany in an above average maiden, that form has since been franked and with improvement likely he is hard to oppose. Life rates the main danger as he hails from a yard that can do no wrong with its two year olds at present and this Saddlers Wells colt should be closely watched in the market. Motarjam is another that could go well as he is a Elusive Quality colt from a yard that can ready a debutante and he is another to note in the market. Of the remainder Hurricane Thomas and Nassmaan hail from stables that are poweful in this division and are orthers worth monitoring in the market but in a race where the market may well tell all for the winner we return to Asperity who is taken to put his experiance to good use.
