Ceredig gets the vote over Benny The Bus, Fastrac Boy and Weakest Link. This maiden should not take too much winning, and on the strength of two fair placed efforts, Ceredig appears to be the one to beat. William Muir's charge finished just a short-head behind the favourite One Night In Paris when third over the course-and-distance on what was his first outing since July, and as he will be fitter, should prove hard to beat. Benny The Bus was only beaten a neck by Tag Team in a handicap here last time and looks the main danger back in maiden company, but he is drawn even wider than the selection and that will not help his cause. Fastrac Boy is lightly raced and open to improvement, while Weakest Link posted a couple of placed efforts earlier in the campaign. They appear to be the main protagonists, with preference for Ceredig.
