In depth
Verdict
A very tricky maiden to close the card and there is little to go on in the way of form. Petite Mac put in an improved effort last time and may just hold the edge over Hans Christian and and H Harrison at this stage, but the TEAMtalk vote goes to Sharplaw Venture, who has an eye-catching pedigree and will not need to be anything out of the ordinary to make a winning debut.
