Kossack, Sibi Saba and Almonafis look the three to concentrate on here and the vote is given to Kossack. Luca Cumani's colt was an eyecatcher last time when he made good headway after being given too much to do and in the end he was wasn't beaten far by Changing Skies. This step-up in trip should suit and he looks the one to beat. Sibi Saba looked in need of the run on her racecourse debut and this Godolphin filly should show a bit more this afternoon. She is worth noting in the market, as is Mick Easterby's newcomer Poppy Day. Fell Pack shaped with promise on his debut but he will need to improve to get competitive, although this step-up in trip should help. Kossack stands out in this maiden and he should be hard to beat.
