A wide open looking maiden in which we will give the tentative vote to Onemoreandstay with both War And Peace and Kara Tau worth noting. The selection ran out of his skin at massive odds on his debut when finishing third of thirteen over course and distance. He proved that day that he does have the ability to win races so he is short listed to go close on his second career start. War And Peace had four runs last season over in Ireland and has his first run here as a four year old for his new connections. He ran some smart races last year finishing second of eighteen on his last run at Cork so should be noted in the betting market. Kara Tau was not discredited on his debut at Newbury in what looked like a hot maiden. This looks like a slightly easier opportunity so any market moves should be noted. But for the winner we return to Onemoreandstay
