Verdict

Alexander Huricane gets the vote in this maiden; Emacolali and Kilvickeon are the others to consider. Kevin Ryan's 4-year-old colt has yet to see a racecourse, but he looks the type that should do well here on breeding and he won't have to be anything out of the ordinary to score first time out. Emacolali is the other newcomer on show and he hails from a sprinting family so if the market speaks in his favour it could pay to take the hint. Kilvickeon looks the best of the two with racecourse experience, but he is quite exposed and his form is only moderate. Mystic Spin was beaten out of sight on his debut but that was over a longer trip and he could be worth another chance. Not much form to go on here, but Alexander Huricane looks the one they all have to beat.
