        Verdict

        Kintbury Cross is the selection in this fascinating maiden, Young Scotton and Airbound are two live dangers. Peter Cundell does very well with his all-weather runners and Kintbury Cross has the turf form to beat these. The pick of his summer runs was a runners up spot behind Admirals Cruise at Newbury. If transfering that sort of ability to this surface he will be hard to beat. Howard Johnson's Young Scotton has shown plenty of ability in two runs on the turf and has to be considered for each-way purposes. Airbound is trained by Mark Johnston who is in great form with his all-weather runners and following two placed efforts here and at Lingfield in decent company, he should be just about spot on for this. Mighty Kitchener looks the pick of the remainder, but Kintbury Cross has the best turf form and can make a winning all-weather debut
