    Verdict

    Dawera, Princess Toto and Arabian Tiger look the most interesting here and Dawera can come out on top. Dawera looks to have a solid claim here on the basis of a good debut run at Lingfield where she stayed on well to be a close third in a maiden over today¿s trip. Breeding suggests this is the right distance for her, and she may prefer a longer trip in time. Peter Chapple-Hyam unveils an interesting newcomer in Arabian Tiger, a son of Singspiel out of a winning sister to dual Derby winner Shirley Heights. The market should be watched for support. Pat Haslam¿s Princess Toto can run well judged by a promising debut at Ripon, staying on in the closing stages against more experienced rivals. The race was won by a stable companion of Dawera, who can confirm the promise of that debut effort and collect this prize.
