In depth
Verdict
Not a strong event by any stretch of the imagination and Maiden Voyage gets a confident vote ahead of Derry Ann and Dunnicks Chance as the main dangers. Paul Webber's mare remains a maiden over both codes but showed a consistent level of form in better company towards the back end of last season including a creditable second in a useful novice event at Ascot. All ground appears to come alike to the five-year-old and this represents a good opportunity to finally open her account. Derry Ann would have claims on the pick of her form but has not been seen since running poorly at Catterick in November and now has something to prove. Dunnicks Chance left previous efforts behind when a promising second in similar company at Newton Abbot last month but faces no easy task on these terms while Cashel Dancer has fair form but is best watched following a six-month absence.
