        Verdict

        The betting market should be watched with interest here but maybe Meneef can land this maiden, although Game Dame, Subtle Breeze and Portmeirion also catch the eye. Looking at the field. Bobby Charles is possibly one to look out for in the betting. All Blue hails from the Godolphin stable but, with plenty of stamina on the dam's side of his pedigree, might be worth taking on unless the betting says something radically different. Meneef holds good entries and is surely better than his third at Yarmouth last time. At $600,000, he would need to be. The well-bred Royal Flight is surely better than he has so far shown, while Game Dame has proven consistent, deserves to win a race of this nature and, at a rating around the mid 70s, sets a fair benchmark for the form. With John Gosden running the promising Subtle Breeze, Marcus Tregoning also running Sian Thomas, and Ed Vaughan running the nicely-bred newcomer Portmeirion, a daughter of Polish Precedent, this race has an interesting look, but for the winner, once again, we turn to Meneef.
