Verdict
MAYNE was second at Kempton on his only his second start. He’s by Dansili out of a Galileo mare so the extra quarter-mile here shouldn’t be a problem. Two Bids has placed in all three starts to date with his best run coming over this trip at Windsor in July when a couple of lengths ahead of Invictus Spirit so he looks a danger. Diaboleo had a couple of runs in France for Freddie Head but is having a first start for Ian Williams after a break.
