    Verdict

    Plenty have displayed sufficient talent to deliver an ordinary maiden and the race is to be noted carefully with the future in mind. The sole winner, Orange Suit, may struggle to concede 7lb and upwards to some interesting types, of whom MONOXIDE is the preference. Martyn Meade's charge came home to good effect on just his second career start is a decent Sandown maiden over this trip and ground and can go one better. He should step up appreciably from the run. Armed is another from whom improvement is expected after two promising efforts along with twice-placed Daisy Chain. Mister Ambassador is presumably better than his lacklustre debut suggested and is one to note in the market alongside a couple of newcomers in stable companion, Ben Vrackie, and Al Kherb, a son of Al Kazeem.
