Verdict
There are several potentially interesting newcomers that line up in the first division of the six-furlong maiden including Peter Makin's Captain Noble, the Barry Hills-trained Commended and Jeremy Gask's Dark Secret but it is hard to get away from ENLIGHTENING. Richard Hannon's colt stepped up from his debut effort at Sandown when narrowly beaten by Raucous Behaviour at Brighton at the beginning of the month and that run makes him the one to beat. Stable companion Poppy is speedily bred and has to be considered as does John Dunlop's Spirit Of Gondree but Enlightening sets a decent standard and gets the vote.
