Verdict

Snake's Head,Kailasha and Leander look the three to concentrate on in this maiden and the vote is given to Snake's Head. The selection was a fair second behind Royal Ratinale last time out, that form has since been well advertised and he need only run up to that mark to win this. Kailasha rates the main danger on her latest third behind Wester Ross as he looks sure to be suited by this longer trip and he should be watched in the market. Leander is another that could go well but he dissapointed for no apparent reason last time out so he can not be put forward with any confidence. Of the remainder Double Harness is a colt by Horse Chestnut and is worth a cautionary look in the market but for the winner we return to Snake's Head who sets a fair standard.
