        Verdict

        Axiom can build on his promising debut and gets the vote to win here at the main expense of Actilius and Toplazeo. In truth, this doesn't look the strongest of maidens and given that Ed Dunlop's horses tend to improve greatly for their first runs, Axiom looks one of the better bets of the evening. His pedigree hints that he should handle these soft conditions and wiser for his debut run, he looks worth siding with. Actilius made a pleasing debut on the all-weather and can be expected to improve on that run, as should Julian Joachim. Getrah didn't really go on from his first to second runs but he shouldn't be ruled out yet, whilst at a price Toplazeo could ruffle a few feathers. This finale though can go the way of Axiom.
