Verdict

Not Another Cat makes most appeal in this maiden, with Cape of Storms and Cow Girl the others worth considering. The selection has not been seen out since last July but he made a pleasing impression that day when running well in a decent maiden at Newmarket and in this less competitive contest he does stand out as the best bet. Cape Of Storms chased home Silver Hotspur last time, form that has worked out quite well, so he could be the one to capitalise if the selection is not fit enough to do himself justice. Cow Girl can be forgiven her disappointing effort last time as she reared up as the stalls opened and that cost her all chance. Daniel O'Donnell hails from a shrewd yard and is worth a look in the market, but for the winner we will stick with Not Another Cat.
