Handwoven and WILLY BRENNAN both represent yards in cracking form and should dominate this maiden. The former has had his chances, however, and doesn't look the most resolute so we have to side with the latter, who was only beaten a length at Lingfield on his reappearance and first start on the all-weather earlier this month. Ana Ettihady is surely better than he showed over 7f here a couple of weeks ago and it would be no surprise if he reversed that form with Wildcat Lass today.
