      In depth

      Verdict

      A potentially trappy little maiden, NELSON sets the standard on form and the son of Frankel is entitled to come and win a race of this nature. He found only one too good last time and may make amends now. He was turned over by a stablemate of Tashman last time, so any money behind that debutant might be worth following giving the Weld team is coming to the boil and they should know where they stand with the selection on homework. Christopher Robin is a newcomer worth noting for Ballydoyle while Maze Runner is also one to be paid attention on his first start.
