Verdict
Second Minister, Uhuru Peak and Fit To Fly look the three to concentrate on, with the last named getting the nod. Sylvester Kirk's colt put up a brave performance on his all-weather debut at Wolverhampton last month when making Global Achiever fight all the way to the line. He possibly found the extra furlong a shade too far at Lingfield last time and back over the six furlongs should go close to losing his maiden tag. Uhuru Peak made a promising racecourse debut here three weeks ago when third behind Blueberry Rhyme, the experience will have done him the world of good and he can take a hand in the finish. Second Minister comes into the reckoning here following three promising efforts in maiden company here and at Lingfield. Of others Time To Relax came up against a promising type last time and can make his presence felt. So a tricky little maiden that may go the way of Fit To Fly.
