      Verdict

      The Newmarket raiders should dominate this maiden. Bailarico is from a family of stayers and is a full brother to a middle-distance winner. Fellow newcomer Vuela is a half-sister to three winners up to 1m2f, including the smart Volume but she'll need to be useful to get the better of QUEEN OF THE STARS. William Haggas' filly was a little keen last time over 1m4f at Haydock but still ran well behind a useful winner. Dropping back down in distance should suit and she can gain a deserved first victory. No improvement materialised for Transmitting at Salisbury last week and he'll be qualified for handicaps after this.
