Verdict

A potentially decent maiden with several interesting runners from big stables including Godolphin's Expeditious, Sir Michael Stoute's pair King's Kama and Notnowcato and Peter Chapple-Hyam's River Alhaarth but a chance is taken with Taj India. The selection is a well-bred son of Gone West trained by Mark Johnston who made an encouraging debut in the newcomers race at Ascot won by Nightfall. Taj India has been given time since then by his handler and being out of a sister to the dam of Rule Of Law should appreciate today's longer trip. Expeditious is like a lot of the stable's juveniles American bred and should handle the fast ground but does not make great appeal on pedigree. Sir Michael Stoute's King's Kama does but he needs to step up considerably on Yarmouth debut form to trouble the judge. Stablemate Notnowcato would probably prefer a softer surface, while River Alhaarth is likely to come into his own over middle distances next term. Similar comments apply to Amanda Perrett's Chester House colt Croix Rouge and of more interest may be David Loder's Walkonthewildside ho showed improved form at Leicester last time. Given that John Dunlop has his string in better form now, Tombola is another worth of a mention but the vote goes to Taj India who is taken to improve on his debut run.
