      Verdict

      This looks a very modest maiden and SOV, who is a half-brother to Group 3 winning miler Maureen, is fancied to make a winning start for Alan McCabe. None of those with experience make much appeal so the biggest danger may be fellow newcomer Arsenale, though she's nothing special on breeding.
