Maiden handicaps are not always the best betting mediums and just one favourite has won this in ten years. ADHERENCE may buck the trend as he's likely to be well supported after a narrow defeat when stepped up to this trip for the first time at Wetherby. Falcon's Fire found 1m2f too sharp on this track last time as he was staying on over 1m4f at Beverley previously while Mikro Polemistis will be winning a little race soon judged on her recent run at Beverley where she kept on stoutly over the 1m4f trip. It's hard to know what Dusky Raider has done to deserve a mark of 62 and top weight but Miss Marina Bay is greatly respected despite her poor form figures as she's a sister to a winning stayer so will be suited by stepping up in trip.
