      Verdict

      Saeed Bin Suroor won this in 2009 and ASIFA can repeat the process as he ran well enough behind Holiday Reading on soft ground at Folkestone to suggest a race of this nature on faster going is within his compass. Spanish Fork belied his 100/1 starting price with a fine run behind Miblish in a much tougher maiden at Newbury and normal progress will see him in the shake-up while there are some well-connected newcomers involved including the expensive Qannaas, a half-brother to a winner in the USA and out of a very useful mare.
