Verdict
Not a strong maiden by any stretch of the imagination and Littleton Arwen is the TEAMtalk choice to confirm debut promise. The Terry Mills-trained filly showed bright speed on her Leicester bow earlier in the month and kept on well to finish a close third in a 7f maiden. The daughter of Bahri will be sharper for the experience and will take plenty of pegging back from a favourable draw. Angel Annie has claims on her initial effort when placed at Newmarket but flopped next time and now has something to prove following a near two-month absence. Arzo represents a powerful yard but needs to show dramatic improvement to figure so the consistent Heidelburg could prove a bigger danger.
