Majeen may be the answer to this puzzle with Trenchant and Dark Prospect looking two of the potential banana skins in this maiden. Willie Haggas' sent out Very Wise to win this race in 2005 and he looks to have a likeable sort in Majeen. Well supported on two starts and from a yard in some form, there are plenty of positives despite the likely price. Trenchant is a half-brother to Exit To Nowhere. Dark Prospect is a Derby entry and can be expected to have built upon a promising run at Nottingham. Falcativ should be better with time whilst Art Value is worth more than just a cursory glance in the market as his stable have started to send out the winners' again. First Avenue looks to have the scope to be a decent three-year-old whereas front-running filly, Bookish, doesn't appear to be any great shakes but will ensure that this will be a true run test. Majeen does have to improve to win this but the previous market vibes suggest him to be better than what we have seen thus far.
