Vivre Sa Vie, Jomacomi and Pont Neuf are the principles in this maiden stakes and the confident vote is given to Vivre Sa Vie. The three-year-old from the Sir Mark Prescott yard is improving with each run and was a game second behind Royal Atalza last time over this course and distance and a reproduction of that effort should suffice here. Jomacomi could represent the main danger and a market move for this newcomer from the Mark Johnston yard could be significant, although the Middleham handler is not in great form at present so he may be best watched today. Pont Neuf is the other worth considering as he has shown a fair level of form, although he has never run before on this track, so it remains to be seen whether or not he takes a liking to the surface. Classic Lin is another newcomer who should be noted in the market, but for the winner we return to our confident selection Vivre Sa Vie.
