There are plenty to give some thought to here in an interesting maiden and the betting might provide some meaningful clues. Our short list contains Greatwallofchina, Park Royal and Otaared, with the tentative selection being Greatwallofchina. Some thumbnail sketches for you. The Barry Hills-trained Eseej rates as an interesting newcomer; Mark Johnston's Giant Love is closely related to the top-class Balanchine; Peter Chapple Hyam's Glorious Gift hails from a stable that is doing well with its juveniles; the Aidan O'Brien-trained Greatwallofchina; Kevin Ryan's 65,000 guineas purchase Hammadi, who showed plenty of debut promise when fourth at Pontefract; the Godolphin newcomer Iguazu Falls; promising Goodwood debutants Moynahan and Park Royal; Michael Jarvis's well-bred newcomer Otaared; Karl Burke's 90,000 euros purchase Patthepainter; Richard Hannon's Redsensor, who has shown good maiden form in finishing second on each of his racecourse starts, and William Haggas's 140,000 guineas purchase Silvanus. As we say, it all adds up to an interesting maiden with the selection being Greatwallofchina.
