This should prove to be a rather competitive maiden with Ignatieff and Any Day expected to be thereabouts at the post but it is I'MALWAYSRIGHT who gets the verdict. The two-year-old colt ran well in fourth at Kempton last time. He paid the price for setting a blistering place but we expect him to have come on for the run and we expect him to lose his maiden tag here. Newly gelded Ignatieff has improved with each of his four runs to date, he has fair form claims and although he doesn't look entirely willing when asked for more we think he can make the frame here. Any Day has shown some ability over the minimum trip and is expected to do well here today, though she does lack the scope of the two earlier mentioned. Victorian Art looked decent enough wearing first time visors last time and was never far away from the eventual winner but things may prove a little harder for her today and getting the better of our selection I'malwaysright looks unlikely.
