Brian Meehan has found a good opportunity for ARABIAN MIRAGE to break her maiden here, while Nemerosa is an obvious danger. The selection produced the best piece of form on offer here when fourth in a big field Newmarket maiden earlier in the month. This trip looks ideal for now and provided she handles the Polytrack then she can improve enough to remain clear of her rivals. Nemerosa has been runner-up in both her maidens to date, including here over 6f, so we know she handles the track. The slightly longer trip might help elicit more improvement and she will need to if she is to win. Chic Retreat is expected to improve for her Folkestone debut and Telling Stories looks better suited by this drop back in trip after failing to convince over a mile on the Fibresand last time. Volochkova is perhaps the most interesting debutant, being related to numerous winners, but preference here is for Arabian Mirage.
