Verdict

Maimoona is selected here ahead of No Page and, possibly, Reclamation. Based on racecourse form, Maimoona, a good second to Upton Grey on her debut, which came on soft going, and the Barry Hills-trained No Page, who has shown promise on each start to date, look the best of these. Of them, Maimoona gets the nod. Most interesting among the newcomers appear to be the Sir Mark Prescott-trained Reclamation and Jeninsky, who cost 21,000 guineas as a two-year-old. Finally, from a good stable, Glittering Prize is a potential improver but, for the selection, we will stick with Maimoona.
