      Verdict

      A trappy maiden here and the market will be very informative as there is little public form to go but the principals look to be Flight To Quality, Bite The Boss and Sheekey and the vote is given to the last named. The selection was a good second behind Thompsons Walls on his debut. That form looks solid and with improvement likely he looks the one to be on. Fight To Quality is from a yard in top form and although very green on his debut when well beaten behind Perfect Act, this looks easier and with improvement likely hr should be watched in the market. Bite The Boss hails from a yard that can ready a newcomer and this colt by Mujahid is another to note in the market. The remainder have shown very little and are readily opposed and for the winner we return to Sheekey.
