Verdict
Dubai Princess gets the confident vote in this maiden with Hucking Harmony and Kylayne rating the main dangers. The selection is a Dubai Destination filly from a yard that can ready a newcomer and she will not need to be anything special to make a winning debut. Hucking Harmony rates the main danger as she is another well bred sort but she is bred to be seen to better effect over a longer trip in time and is taken on with this in mind. Kylayne is a filly by Kyllachy and is bred for speed but she has been done no favours by the draw. Of the remainder King of Dalyan hails from sprint king Dandy Nicholls yard and is another to note in the market but for the winner we are happy to return to the well-bred Dubai Princess.
