Verdict

Pegasus Again, Tomorrow's World and Aboriginie are shortlisted in this maiden and narrow preference is for Pegasus Again. The selection was only beaten a neck by Maze at Ascot on his debut. He is well-regarded by connections and with nominal improvement he should prove tough to beat. Tomorrow's World finished fifth in a Newmarket maiden back in July, but the form has worked out well and if she improves she will not be far away at the finish. John Gosden has done really well with his 2-year-olds this season so Aboriginie should be noted in the market on his debut. The Marcus Tregoning-trained colt Wikaala is another that could be of interest on his debut, but we will stick with Pegasus Again who sets the standard for the rest.
