Verdict
Not much in the way of form to go on so the market will have to provide the clues to the confidence behind the newcomers. Chin Chin may be best of those who have already seen a racecourse and sets the standard in a fairly moderate maiden stakes. Somnus hails from a stable hitting form and is only a tentative selection.
