A modest looking maiden can fall to the newcomer Envisage, Wraith and Garefena could be the main dangers. The selection as you would expect boasts an excellent pedigree. He is by Singspiel out of a well reated Darshaan mare. The Godolphin maidens are a bit hit and miss at present but this doesn't look a strong contest and this 250 thousand guineas purchase can go in at the first time of asking. Garafena has had plenty of chances but has earned a rating of 79, which is a decent enough standard in this company. Meanwhile Wraith ran really well on his return and is open to plenty of improvement. Of the others Heavenward is bred to be a superstar but hasn't really fired as yet. Which brings us back to the well bred debutante Envisage who gets our sporting vote.
