Maiden Voyage looks to have been found an ideal opportunity to land her hat-trick at the expense of Kindle Ball and Cashel Dancer. Paul Webber's mare was all out to score in the soft ground at Bangor to post her second consecutive victory but she remains very much one to be on the right side of at present. Kindle Ball is of obvious interest as she is trained by Venetia Williams. She was well backed ahead of her appearance at Newton Abbot in a bumper but the track performances have been a tad disappointing. Cashel Dancer may be the more likely danger to the favourite. She enjoys a considerable pull at the weights since their recent Hereford meeting and Tony McCoy has been booked for the ride. There were bits and pieces in the ring at Stratford for Hanbrin Rose last time out and the market is given a cursory glance tonight. Pam Sly's Spinosa is similarly watched.
