In depth
Verdict
Llyrical and Ocean Storm have both shown enough to suggest they can win a maiden but ZESHOV's third over 6f at Haydock is the best form among those with experience and Jeremy Noseda's colt, who still holds an entry in a Group 2 at the Curragh at the end of the month, can get off the mark here. A number of the debutants could be worth following in the months ahead, however, including Godolphin's Dullingham. He's by Dubawi and the first foal of an unraced Diktat mare. The Alamo is by High Chaparral and Mark Johnston's filly Bureau is a half-sister to winning miler Diplomatic.
