Verdict

First Slip looks a good thing to land this interesting maiden, Airbus and Disco Lights may provide most danger. Amanda Perrett's colt contested what appeared to be a strong maiden over course and distance last time. He ran a blinder to finish second to the more experienced Katies Tuitor and with normal improvement should be good enough to land this prize. Airbuss is an interesting newcomer from the Mick Channon yard. He is nicely bred by Mozart out of a Kalaglow mare. He cost 160 thousand guinea's as a yearling and in time could prove to be a decent horse. If he is very strong in the market take note. Disco Lights is from a yard going well and following three promising efforts should be spot on for this. Neville Callaghan's Abstract Art adds even more interest to a decent looking maiden, but we return to First slip as our idea of the winner.
