      Verdict

      This is a competitive maiden in which Minaash is narrowly preferred to Dowlleh and Alderney. The selection made a pleasing debut at Kempton when finishing second behind Karayel. They came well clear of the rest of the field that day and with nominal improvement this colt from the Jeremy Noseda yard should take all the beating. Dowlleh has twice gone close and he lost no caste in defeat when he was narrowly turned over by Apollo Five at Bath last time. His stable are in fine form and he should be the one to profit if our selection fails to fire. Alderney is an interesting newcomer from a yard that is certainly more than capable of readying one up to win first time out. She should be noted in the market, but for the winner we will stick with Minaash.
