Verdict
This is a tricky maiden for punters to call but Precautionary, Envision and Commentary all look to have a solid chance and the vote is given to Precautionary. The selection gave the impression on her debut that her turn would not be far away. She ran green but still finished second behind Nantyglo over this course and distance and if she doesn't bounce then she should go close. Envision was a fair fourth behind Strut on his debut over 5f on this track. He may be better with a little more cut in the ground but he is entitled to be thereabouts tonight. Commentary is interesting as she is related to a 6f 2-year-old winner and with the booking of Keiren Fallon catching the eye she is worth noting in the market. The Godolphin runner Spider Power has ability but he had his limitations exposed at Leicester last time and for the winner we will return to Precautionary.
