        Verdict

        This is a trappy maiden and the market may provide plenty of clues but Tempelstern gets our vote ahead of Bayonyx and Butlers Best. The selection made a pleasing debut at Beverley when finishing a close third behind Regime. He missed the break that day so it was a decent effort and that form is the best on show here. Bayonyx looks the part on breeding and any market support for him on his racecourse debut should be noted. Similar comments would apply to Butlers Best, while Ommraan hails from the stable that won this race last year and he is another worth a look in the market. However, the best form on show belongs to Tempelstern and he gets the vote.
