Not the strongest of maidens and the vote is given to Orchestrion, with Ceka Dancer and Tudor Court put forward as the main dangers. The selection makes a quick return to the racecourse having shown promise on her debut at Newcastle last week. She wasn't given ahard time in that contest and looks certain to improve. Ceka Dancer ran well on the all-weather at Kempton last time out although it is hard to assess the form as the winner, third and fourth were all newcomers. Her debut run on the turf was decent enough though and she should play a part in the finish. Tudor Court has put in two solid efforts to date in decent events and may find this company a little easier. Both Maramba and Tobar Suil Lady can be expected to come on for their first efforts and are respected, but Orchestrion is the one that just gets the decision.
