        Verdict

        Most of these are maiden winners looking to continue their progress including EMIRATES AIRLINE. He won a maiden by seven lengths at Chelmsford on his return to action with a subsequent winner further back in third. There looks more to come from him now handicapping while Giantouch is another recent winner who could go well and jockey bookings point to Mohatem over Muqtaser. Dissolution and Shakopee are others to consider having ended last term with wins at Goodwood and Leicester respectively.
