        Verdict

        Emtilaak, Vibe and Sweet Repose should all go well in this class D maiden stakes and we will give the confident nomination to Emtilaak. The selection is fit from a run on the all-weather and he was unlucky when finishing second behind Finders Keepers at Lingfield last time. The step up in trip should be in the favour of this gelding from the Ben Hanbury yard and with conditions to suit he looks the one to be on. Vibe is a well-bred gelding from the in-form Mark Johnston yard and if the market speaks in his favour it may well pay to take the hint. Sweet Repose ran better than the bare form suggests when down the field on her racecourse debut at Yarmouth last time, and as she will have no problem with the ground she could be capable of running into a place. Appalachian Trail is the other with racecourse experience who is worth a second look in the market, but the for the winner we return to Emtilaak.
