Verdict

Some top stables represented in this fascinating maiden and the selection is Grandalea who should have too many guns for Muscida and Cause Celebre. The fact that Michael Stoute's filly ran on the all weather at Lingfield last time out may have given cause for concern, however, when you look at what the winner Sundrop did at Ascot on Saturday then Grandalea stands out as having oustanding claims in this event. Muscida hails from the Henry Cecil camp, and although she has only seen a racecourse on one occasion, she looked to be crying out for a longer trip when finishing a close second at Salisbury. Cause Celebre is improving with each run and the Barry Hills trained filly, who was just touched off last time at Leicester by a Michael Stoute newcomer should be in the shake up. Grandalea though is a confident selection, with Cause Celebre and Musdcida running for place money.
