Isphahan gets the confident vote to win this maiden with Sgt Schultz and Little Miss Daisy rating the main dangers. The selection was a good second behind Champions Gallery last time out. That form has since been franked and he need only reproduce that effort to win this. Sgt Schultz rates the main danger on his latest fourth behind Your Amount but he has had plenty of chances and for that reason he is opposed. Little Miss Daisy is another with place claims on her best form but she has had plenty of chances without taking one. Of the remainder Ashburnham is another that has shown a glimmer of ability and should be suited by the step up in trip but in a poor race for the winner we return to the progressive Isphahan.
