In depth
Verdict
Determind Stand , Cross Fell and Kyrie Eleison look the three to concentrate on in this maiden and the narrow vote is given to Determind Stand. The selection was a fair eighth on his debut behind Nacho Libre. He is sure to have learnt from the experience and given nominal improvement he will be hard to beay. Cross Fell rates the main danger on his debut run behind Bere Davis but he is bred to be suited by further and he is taken on with this in mind. Kyrie Eleison was a fair fourth on his debut behind River Proud and is another that is sure to improve but he has been done no favours by the draw. Of the remainder La Voile Rouge is another that showed promise on his debut while Doctor Robert is a well bred sort from a top yard and both are worth precautionary looks in the market but for the winner we return to Determind Stand.
