Verdict
A small field goes to post for this maiden and on closer inspection not many can be given a serious chance of winning and it looks a match between Patterdale and Fascination Street and the confident vote goes to the former. The selection was a good second behind Cape Vincent last time out and need only reproduce that effort to break her maiden tag under conditions that suit. Fascination Street rates the main danger on her latest second Moon Ledgend but the drop in trip is not sure to suit and for that reason she is opposed. The remainder have shown very little and would need to improve significantly to trouble the judge but Saccharine was third behind Dance To The Blues in a claimer last time and even that form gives him place claims but for the winner we return to Patterdale.
