        Verdict

        In the maiden, Hurlingham gets the vote ahead of Zamaya and John Dillon. The Mark Johnston-trained Hurlingham has displayed plenty of promise in all three starts to date and, in a race that lacks strength, looks to hold leading claims. John Dillon rates as an interesting newcomer, and his stablemate Park's Prodigy, who cost 28,000 guineas, also catches the eye. It would be no surprise to see Milla's Rocket improve on her first two runs, as her breeding suggests, and the Kevin Ryan-trained Zamaya is also another debutante to have a close look at. Overall, though, Hurlingham is the one to beat.
