Verdict

Arabian Maiden was a 165,000gns yearling and is a half-sister to three useful winners so it would be no surprise to see Kevin Ryan’s newcomer run well but the Newmarket raiders could have this to themselves. Wondrous Words was probably unlucky at Thirsk after a debut third at Haydock but TAWREED took a long time to get organised when third at Yarmouth and she probably has a bit more scope. Hidden Sky weakened quickly at Yarmouth last time once headed and is dropped in trip but she will be vulnerable again in the closing stages. Rudaina ran in a hot maiden at Newbury on her reappearance and will strip fitter here.
