        Verdict

        Crazy Bear, Sky High Guy and Christmas Player look the three to concentrate on in this maiden with the vote going to Crazy Bear. The selection was a fair third behind La Via Ferrata last time out. This looks easier and with the booking of Robert Winston catching the eye he will be hard to beat. Sky High Grey rates the main danger on his latest second behind Pound Sign but all he did was stay-on in the latter stages that day so the drop in distance has to be of concern. Christmas Player is another worthy of respect as he is sure to strip fitter here having been a fair sixth in a better race behind Ameeq last time. He represents shrewd connections and should be closely watched in the market. Of the remainder, Dickie's Dream has shown a modicum of ability in three runs to date and is another with place claims but his overall profile leaves him with a little to find and for the winner we return to Crazy Bear.
