After showing mild progression in two starts Spirit Of Oakdale is high on the list of likely winners of this maiden but UPTOWN GUY was impressive on debut and can go one better this time with Formal Demand also considered after a nice first go. Held just over two lengths but well clear in second place on debut the pick was certainly impressive enough on debut. He should build on that and this doesn't look like a race that will take much winning. Spirit Of Oakdale has been well held in two starts but did at least improve his finishing position vastly on his second start so there might be more to come. Formal Demand was a well held third of nine on his opening gambit but Ed Vaughan's runner should now come on for that. Busker looks a live contender on paper and should be in the mix first time up and stable mate Chibchan is also an interesting newcomer but looks the second string. Not a huge amount of form to go on but Uptown Guy should kick on from that good opening.
