        Verdict

        This is a decent looking maiden for the track with several interesting runners lining up including Brian Meehan's Hidden and Mark Johnston's Quitao and both have to be given every chance but preference is for the Barry Hills-trained PARK VIEW, who gave every indication on her debut in a Newmarket maiden that she would appreciate a step up in trip to middle distances and she looks worth siding with. Hidden ran well on his debut at Windsor last month when a three length fourth behind Visualize and he has claims with the yard's runners normally improving for the run. Alan Swinbank saddles two runners in Royal Swain and Chickini, who have both won bumpers and have to be respected on their respective flat racing debuts, particularly the former who won back-to-back races before running in the Champion bumper at Aintree. Quitao is bred to be useful but would also probably prefer a softer surface, while Henry Cecil's Danube should appreciate the step up in trip on her reappearance but does not make as much appeal as the selection, Park View.
