Verdict
IVAQUESTION is one of a number to have shown promise on debut and the way he came home when beaten under 3l in a Leopardstown maiden when seemingly not especially strongly fancied suggested that an ordinary maiden should prove within his capabilities. He also has a decent draw. Maker Of Kings was only beaten half a length on his Down Royal debut by Royal County Down which automatically brings him into calculations along with Gatwick Kitten. Daayeb and Permafrost are newcomers worth a second look and Agent Zero and Sherpa have also shown enough to be of interesting in a good maiden for the track.
