      Verdict

      HYLAND HEATHER has been caught in the closing stages over 6f the last twice so a drop back to the minimum trip looks a logical move. Rated 78, she looks the one to beat in this maiden. Acclaim The Nation ran well on his racecourse debut when runner-up at Newcastle and could prove a bigger threat than Enjoy Life, who has plenty to find with the selection on these terms. Lovin' Spoonful looks likely to improve but will need to if she is to figure and the remainder are even harder to fancy.
