In depth
Verdict
Naias, Light The Light and Manchestermaverick make most appeal in this maiden and the confident vote is given to Manchestermaverick. The selection shaped with plenty of promise on his debut behind St Trinians and he looked as though he would come on plenty for the run. This 3-year-old is an imposing type and he can break his duck today. Naias rates as the main danger as Richard Fahey's filly showed plenty of promise on her debut in a race won by Mujahope. She is upped slightly in trip today which should not be a problem and she is respected. Light The Light catches the eye on breeding and she makes plenty of appeal, especially as the stable have done quite well with their 3-year-olds this season. Imperial Djay wasn't disgraced when last seen and he appeals most of the others, but for the winner we will stick with Manchestermaverick who looked like one to stay on the right side of last time out.
