Verdict
Another wide open contest rounds off proceedings and a chance is taken on Just Ern to score he is from a yard in top form he has shown a modicum of ability on most starts and he could be well in in this maiden handicap. Feeling Blue has ran well in better races and he has a good draw and he was a good third in a maiden last time out. The Old Solider is also one to consider he ran well over the minimum trip behind American Cousin and he to should play a part. Shamarco could also go well he is from a yard in good form and he acts on the ground. Maundy's Collection is another to consider having shown improved form on the AW last time out when fourth in a six furlong handicap. Uproar would also have a chance on his best form but the change of stable does not seem to have rekindled his enthusiasm yet however this is a drop down in grade.
