Hill of Grace gets the confident vote to win this maiden with Diktatorship and King Alfie rating the main dangers. The selection was a fair fourth behind Hanoona in what looked a better maiden at Newmarket last time out. He is sure to have come on for the experience and under similar conditions here he will be hard to beat given nominal improvement. Diktatorship rates the main danger as he is a well bred half-brother to several winners up to a mile and is from a yard in form so he will not need to be anything special to take a hand in this on this his racecourse debut. King Alfie is another worthy of respect as he was a fair third on his debut behind Sir Xaar. That form has since been franked in good style and he should be noted in the market. Black Charmer is another well bred Black Minnaloushe colt, half-brother to 5f-7f winner Chenia who could run well at a price but in a race where the market will be all important for the winner we return to Hill Of Grace.
