Not a lot of form to go on in this maiden and narrow preference is for HOLYROOD ahead of Dreamwalk, Highland Storm and newcomers Asateer and Dialogue. Sir Michael Stoute rarely has his horses wound up for their debut run so the selection's debut fourth at Newmarket looks pretty strong. That looks a strong maiden and this elegantly-bred colt can get off the mark today. Mark Johnston's runners at Goodwood always command respect and his two newcomers Dialogue and Jukebox Jury look interesting. Messrs Murtagh and Dettori look interesting bookings and it will be interesting to see how they fare in the betting. Asateer is another to keep an eye on; Barry Hills' stable are in better form now. Full Toss, Master Fong and Millway Beach all made pleasing debuts, whilst Highland Storm, Dreamwalk and Tepmokea have had two starts apiece and each looks sure to win a maiden sooner rather than later.
