Verdict
Safebreaker, Loyal Knight and Marfeng look the three to concentrate on in this maiden and the confident vote is given to Safebreaker. The selection hails from a yard in top form, was a fair second behind Quest For Success last time out, looks sure to be suited by this longer trip and from a good draw he is hard to oppose. Loyal Knight rates the main danger on his best form but he was very disappointing for no apparent reason last time out and he is taken on with this in mind. Marfeng showed a glimmer of ability on his debut behind Lady Rangali and is sure to improve but the suspicion is he will be seen to better effect over a longer trip. Of the remainder My Shadow is another that is sure to improve on his debut run but he has been done no favours by the draw and with this in mind for the winner we return to Safebreaker.
