An interesting opener where Maids Causeway stands out on her debut run and is expected to have a little in hand over Vondova and newcomer Park Law, who head the list of dangers out of the rest. The last named is a half-sister to the likes of Middlemarch and Lady High Havens, who both came into their own over slightly further, and this daughter of Fasliyev is likely to need more time if she runs typical to her pedigree. The same has to be said of Gwyneth, whose stable are yet to strike with a juvenile runner this season and she is best watched on her debut here. Whereas Vondova needs to improve drastically on her first outing and she may be best left alone until she takes her chance in handicaps. Which brings us back to Maids Causeway, whose effort in chasing home Whazzat was given a tremendous boost when that rival went on to win the Chesham stakes at Royal Ascot. Normal improvement will make Maids Causeway extremely hard to master in this company and getting a shade of odds against from the betting market appears to be the biggest problem facing punters at this stage.
