This doesn't look the strongest of maidens and though both newcomers, Richard Hannon's Law Enforcement and Henry Candy's Benoni, are greatly respected the experience of HAATEFINA may be too much for them on this occasion. Mark Usher's filly ran very well when staying on behind Maureen over 6f at Newbury and the winner gave the form a major boost when narrowly defeated in the Group 2 Cherry Hinton at Newmarket. Dance With Dragons made a very promising debut behind King Dragon at Windsor when Dominate, who runs in the opener, was runner-up so a big run from the latter will be a pointer. The remainder with experience will need to improve to take a hand.
