Verdict
A couple of these look good enough to win an ordinary maiden. Rio's Pearl is one of those as she went close at Doncaster last time albeit over a longer trip. The other, EL MANATI is just preferred as she finished a creditable fourth at Newmarket over today's trip on her introduction and can land this with normal progress. Madame Elizabeth showed improvement at Haydock last month but Glen Ginnie took a step backwards at Kempton after finishing fourth at Goodwood before that. Sunny Hollow is a half-sister to the smart sprinter Nevisian Lad and makes most appeal of the newcomers.
