In depth
Verdict
Feaat, Swahili Dancer, Arrgatt and Narciso are the main protagonists in this maiden stakes with the nomination going to Feaat. The selection was an expensive purchase and she showed plenty of promise on her introduction to the racecourse when third behind Quiff at Salisbury. She will have needed that run and with conditions to suit she should take a lot of stopping. Swahili Dancer is a well-bred colt by Swain from the Luca Cumani yard and she has the services of the promising claimer Nicky Mackay, so she could go well but the suspicion is that she will probably need the run. Arrgatt looked a little one-paced at Newmarket behind Moon Dazzle last time so the step up in trip might bring about some improvement. Narciso hails from a very shrewd yard so if the market speaks in his favour he could be very interesting. However, Feaat stands out here and is taken to lead them home.
