Verdict
Just six runners go to post for this modest maiden and Exclusive Danielle could be the one to be on, with Ganymede and Magnetic Pole two very live dangers. The Barry Hills trained filly has always been held in high regard and has been given plenty of time to mature. She put up a reasonable performance behind Maganda at Ripon in April, but looked very inexperienced and is fully expected to leave that form well behind. Sir Michael Stoute trains Magnetic Pole who will be much more at home back in maiden company after being slaughtered off a mark of 85 in a Ripon handicap in July. Ganymede has had plenty of chances but does tend to find one or two too good, it may be the same story again today. Of the others Chestall has shown a glimmer of ability, but Exclusive Danielle is expected to start living up to her illustrious pedigree.
