An interesting maiden in which LISTILLO is taken to provide a further boost to the form of Canford Cliffs' Newbury maiden win. Palisades Park, Warning Song and Classic Colori are just a few of the potential dangers. The market should be a useful guide to the chances of the lastnamed as it has been for many of his stablemates on debut whilst One Good Emperor is another to note but the yard has a poor record here. Elizabelle is related to smart juvenile Orizaba but may need a stiffer test if she's inherited her sire's stamina but the trip should be fine for Storm Hawk. Palisades Park didn't shine in the Salisbury maiden in which Warning Song finished fourth but could well improve past the Amanda Perrett runner who didn't make as much progress as expected when held at Leicester on Monday. Listillo's saddle was reported to have slipped at Newbury where he was fully sixteen lengths behind the winner. However, one of those behind has gone close since, as have the second and fifth whilst the third ran out a ready winner on his next start. He's not badly drawn and should be at home on the quick ground so we'll side with Listillo.
