Verdict

Hanseatic League sets the standard and he can take this maiden at the expense of North Shore and Puya. Mark Johnston¿s juvenile has burnt the fingers of his supporters in the past but his first two runs prior to a disappointment at Pontefract suggested that there was definitely a win in him. Given fifty days to recover, he should be back to form now. North Shore stays further than this and if he can reproduce his opening bow at Newmarket, it could be good enough to take this prize. Henry Candy introduces a newcomer in the shape of Puya. She is a half-sister to Gorse and with the yard enjoying particular success with their juveniles, she has to be given respect. Babe McCool was the pick of a large five-day entry for Barry Hills. A stoutly bred individual, anything achieved as a juvenile should be a bonus. Pesquera was cannoned into in the early stages of a Yarmouth maiden. She was allowed to go off at 20/1 on the day and with a yard as shrewd as Jeremy Noseda¿s this probably spoke volumes. Formidable Will is related to a number of winning juveniles and is watched in the market. Hanseatic League is given a final chance.
