In depth
Verdict
A decent maiden in prospect with plenty of blue blood on view. Nasij and Bijoux have met previously but with Ed Dunlop's horses in poor form, the vote goes to Bijoux. Richard Hannon's two-year-olds have been absolutely flying of late and the form being upheld earlier in the week by Spinola at Newmarket, he is recommended at the expense of the others.
