This maiden won't take much winning, and although Gold Gleam ran well in defeat in handicap company last time his likely price makes him a risky prospect. Pelmanism is from a yard in form and doesn't have to find a great deal on these terms to get on top after returning to some kind of form on his latest. This time, however, the vote goes to APPLEBY FAIR, who wouldn't have to be anything special on debut to be playing a major part in the race while Burnt Cream looks one of the more likely threats in receipt of weight from all.
