Verdict

A tricky maiden to judge but POINT NORTH's performance in an above average Newbury maiden on debut looks strong form and from powerful connections he should win this weaker event with Paul Hanagan given the leg up. Silvery Moon has been progressive in three starts so should improve again while Safaan has been mildly progressive in a couple of runs and is bred to be better than he's shown so far. No Rain can't be ruled out after a solid debut but Point North looks to be the percentage call.
