      Verdict

      A small field for this auction maiden and it looks a good opportunity for Benny The Bat to land his first race, Bewildering and Hyde Park Flight could be the main rivals. Hughie Morrison's charge is no world beater but has shown enough in his three races to date to suggest he can land a race of this nature. He has finished close behind some horses rated in the high 80's and so this shouldn't be too difficult a task. Bewildering is an interesting newcomer being a full brother to the useful Toldo. Today's trip should be ideal and the market should be watched closely. Hyde Park flight should step up on his debut and looks the pick of the others. However Benny The Bat's form stands out here and he is a confident choice.
