    Verdict

    This is a moderate maiden for the track and gives Groovy Willow an easy chance to lose her maiden tag, although she could have been better drawn. Distant Scene has the best of the draw, but he may need the outing after a lay off and a bigger threat may come from Siraj, who ran well for a long way, in a better race than this at Newmarket.
