      Verdict

      Chivola gets the confident vote in this maiden with Plenty of Action and Star Strider rating the main dangers. The selection was a fair second behind Fast Feet last time out, that form looks rock solid in the context of this race and he need only run up to that mark to win this with a little in hand. Plenty Of Action rates the main danger on her latest fourth behind Annes Rocket. She looks sure to be suited by the return to the minimum trip and with her yard in form should be watched in the market. Star Strider is another worthy of respect on his best form but he has not gone on as expected and is taken on with this in mind. Of the remainder Earl Compton could improve for the fitting of a first time visor but Chivola sets a fair standard and will be hard to beat.
