Everything has leading claims whilst Leonid Glow went into many a notebook when staying on strongly just behind the Midgeley trained filly on debut. Portrush Storm, Orpenella and Pay Parade are others names to throw into the hat but we'll take a chance with Tangerine Trees. There may not be any great strength in depth in this maiden and it would be no surprise if Brian Smart's newcomer were to prove up to the task of making a winning debut. His half-brother handled soft ground well, the trip should suit and his yard is up and running for the season. Dolly No Hair has the highest official rating courtesy of an improved effort on her final start and David Barker has his horses in good order too. The betting may help sort them out a little bit and Tangerine Trees can only be a tentative suggestion.
