Verdict
Silver Seeker will hardly be the most original selection to be ever put forward to win a Newmarket maiden, but the Seeking Gold colt did very little wrong on his debut and will take all the beating here if he has come on for the run. Any support in the market for Fort McHenry and Dhabyan should also be noted if the odds on Silver Seeker prove to be too restricting.
