In depth
Verdict
Tanning,Daisys Girl, and After Lent look the three to concentrate on in this maiden and the confident vote is given to Tanning. The selection hails from a shrewd yard is dropping in grade and from what looks a good draw he is taken to score off what looks a lenient mark. Daisys Girl rates the main danger on her best form but she was behind the selection last time out and there is no reason why she should gain her revenge on these terms. After Lent is another worthy of respect as he was well backed in a better race last time out but was ultimately disappointing. However he should be watched in the market again now he is in a lower grade. Of the remainder Mister Regent is from a yard in form and could go well at a price but his overall profile leaves him with a little to find and for the winner we return to
