This is usually won by a three-year-old and there was a lot to like about the victory of WATER HOLE at Doncaster earlier this month. That was her first run of the year and there should be plenty more to come from John Gosden's filly. Hiking could also make a bold bid on the back of a win at Salisbury and is preferred to the likes of Saltwater Creek and Hot Coffee but one of the handicap debutants could prove a bigger threat. Principle Equation, Patterned and Palerma won maiden races in good style last time and all are worth a second glance in the betting for any strong support.
