In depth
Verdict
Vizulize is the tentative choice in this weak Maiden Stakes, with Wings of Morning and Galloway Mac also considered. The selection hails from a shrewd yard and he ran well without getting the rub of the green at Lingfield last time when sixth behind Muyassir. If he can reproduce that effort and get a bit more luck in running he could be the one to beat, especially if the market speaks in his favour. Wings of Morning was dropped in class and ran well when a close second behind Sir Jasper over this course and distance last time. He hails from an in-form yard and with Neil Callan expected to give him the forceful ride that he needs, he will run our selection close. Galloway Mac was a fair third over a mile on this track last time, and he may be capable of better if he does not once again dwell in the stalls. Somewhere My Love could also be interesting on his all-weather bow, but Vizualize looked like he might be running into form last time and is our selection.
