This is an interesting maiden in which several runners have claims but it is IRON OUT that just gets the verdict ahead of Lucky Dan and Dante Deo. The last mentioned has run well in both starts on the Fibresand but she disappointed on her Polytrack debut at Great Leighs last time so may be best watched at present. Jonathan Jay's If Only made a pleasing debut at Lingfield earlier this month and he would have every chance if able to build on that effort. Ed Dunlop's Princess Zohra ran well at Great Leighs over six furlongs last time and may be worth another chance back up to seven furlongs today, although she disappointed over the trip first time up. Any market support for Mark Johnston's Jawaaher would be of interest, while Paul Green's Lucky Dan has shown a consistent level of form and should again be thereabouts. The vote though goes to Reg Hollinshead's Iron Out, who stepped up on his debut effort when chasing home Premier Lad at Southwell last time and, with the likelihood of more to come, he looks worth chancing.
