        Verdict

        This doesn't appear to be the strongest of maidens and it could fall to Scripted, with Hannah's Dream and Invertiel the possible dangers. Sir Mark Prescott's gelding put up a promising display on his debut at Lingfield, he was easy to back and took a while to get going but finished fast to take fourth behind Emerald Lodge. Capable of any amount of improvement, this son of Diktat could prove the best option here. Hannah's Dream is from a top yard and has shown promise in two races to date, the most recent was at Beverley when just out-gunned by Verbier, she looks the main threat to the selection. Invertiel was outclassed in a valuable Hamilton nursery last time, but enters the argument her on her previous second to Hansomelle. The rest make little appeal, so with almost guaranteed improvement Scripted is the one to be on.
