        Verdict

        This looks the stronger of the two divisions of the maiden and in it like the look of Stakhanovite over Brindisi and Chambray. The selection, a full brother to Mark Of Esteem, showed plenty of promise on his sole start at two, finishing third behind Arakan, who went on to be placed three times at Group level. Normal improvement alone from three to four would see him land a race of this nature and the chances are that he could be useful if connections can keep him sound. The Barry Hills-trained Brindisi and Andrew Balding's Chambray both showed good promise on their sole runs to date and will probably give the selection most to think about. Of the others, Just Tim will be fit from the all-weather although his form equates to around only the 80 mark, but the Roger Charlton-trained Sailmaker and the John Gosden-trained Slavonic - who will be wearing blinkers for the first time, certainly look up to winning a race in time, while the market will provide the best clues as to the chances of the Mick Channon-trained newcomer Fire Finch. Overall, though, Stakhanovite gets the vote.
