This is a tricky maiden to open the card and we will put forward Bounty Quest, Sudden Dismissal and Enforcer as the leading players with the final vote going to Sudden Dismissal. The selection showed plenty of promise on his debut when fourth behind One Putra in a decent maiden at Windsor, and as the second home that day Rebuttal has since gone on to frank the form, he looks the one to beat. Enforcer finished narrowly behind our selection that day but he was doing his best work at the finish and the suspicion is that he may do better over further in time. Bounty Quest has shown plenty of promise to date but will need to improve to take this. He finished third behind Red Peony last time over 7 furlongs and he looked as though he would be suited by a longer trip that day, so he looks opposable back over 6 furlongs. Of the remainder, Bamzooki showed plenty of promise on his debut when hampered over this course and distance, so he could be worth another chance and he would be of interest of there are any positive market vibes. This is a wide open affair with some nice types in opposition, but Sudden Dismissal is well-drawn and made a very pleasing debut and sets a fair standard for the rest.
