      Verdict

      In a maiden that won't take much winning it will a big surprise if standard setter PAPAGENO gets beaten. The Gelding has had plenty of chances to get off the mark but based on his near miss in a handicap in April and a couple of close things in this company since he looks hard to beat. Billionaire Boy has 11lb to find on these terms where that will come from is anybodies guess so a bigger threat maybe Clear Praise simply based on the fact he is the least exposed. Riggs could surprise under a top all-weather jockey but Papageno is clearly the one to beat.
