Verdict

Bellabelini gets the confident vote to win this maiden with Devine Dancer and Tawaaf rating the main dangers. The selection showed plenty of ability when finishing in mid-division behind Heaven Knows last time out. He is sure to have learnt from the experience and given nominal improvement will be hard to beat. Devine Dancer rates the main danger as she is a well-bred filly by Woodborough and will not need to be anything special to take a hand in the finish so should be noted in the market. Tawaaf is another worthy of respect as he is another that showed a modicum of ability on his debut and looks sure to improve but his stable are out of form of late. Of the remainder, Skylarking was sent off favourite on his debut before disappointing. He is clearly thought capable of better and is another to note in the market. This is a trappy affair and the market will be very informative but for the winner we return to Bellabelini.
