        Verdict

        Bronte's Hope, Fairnilee and Varya, are three against the field in this poor maiden and the narrow vote is given to Bronte's Hope. The selection was a fair fifth on his debut behind Zahour Al Yasmeen despite running very green and he is sure to have learnt from the experience. He has a good draw he is taken to continue his yard's good strike-rate at this track. Fairnilee rates the main danger on his latest third behind Elhareeer but he is bred to be suited by a longer trip in time and he is taken on with this in mind. Varya is a well-bred type from a top yard and should be noted in the market but she looks the stable second string on jockey bookings and is taken on with this in mind. Leg Sweep showed ability on his debut and is another that could improve but for the winner we return to Bronte's Hope.
