        Verdict

        Hidden Star, Art Elegant and Silent Spring are the three for the shortlist in this maiden and the vote is given to Hidden Star. The selection is eased in grade and although he has questions to answer at present, he looks worth taking a chance on in a race that will not take much winning. Art Elegant ran well when second behind Robinzal at Newcastle last time, and although he is effective over today's trip the suspicion is that he is better over further. Silent Spring must have claims in this grade but she has proved to be disappointing so far and although it would be no surprise to see her go close, we are happy to take her on. Generator made a pleasing debut and is another to consider, but Hidden Star should be capable of making this drop in grade count.
