Verdict
Non Compliant, gets the confident vote to win this maiden with Vaunt and Not For Me rating the main dangers. The selection was a good second on his debut behind Prince Of Elegance, is sure to have learnt from the experience and given nominal improvement if he acts on this surface he will be very hard to beat. Vaunt rates the main danger on his latest fourth behind Scarlet Runner but he has already given the impression he would be suited by a longer trip and for that reason he is opposed. Not For Me was a fair second behind Hart Of Gold last time and is another that could go well with his yard in top form but he has been done no favours by the draw. Of the remainder Breckland Boy is another that has shown a modicum of ability but he may be seen to better effect once handicapped and for the winner we return to Non Compliant who looks sure to improve.
