Statuesque looks a threat to all in this having only been beaten a neck stepping up to this trip at Salisbury. Colonial Classic also has claims in an above-average maiden as she ran very well in a couple of back-end maidens at Newmarket last year, though an absence since October is a bit of a concern. Having been turned over when odds-on on her reappearance at Nottingham, SEPTEMBER STARS was still quietly fancied for a Listed race at Goodwood in May. She only managed fifth but this is a big drop in class and Ralph Beckett's daughter of Sea The Stars is given another chance. Ecureuil has shown some ability and Sleeplessinseattle and Astrosecret are worth noting for future reference.
