In depth
Verdict
Lord Mayfair, Hadrian and Mozafin look the three to concentrate in this maiden and the confident vote goes to Lord Mayfair. The selection was a good second on his debut behind Merchant last time , he is sure to have come on for the run and under similar conditions here he will be hard to beat. Hadrian rates the main danger he showed he had come on for his debut run when second behind Red Peony last time and if he reproduced that effort he would have definite place claims. Mozafin is another that could go well on his best form but he was very disappointing last time however this faster surface is sure to suit and he is worth noting in the market. Royal Wedding is a well bred sort from a top yard but has shown very little of late but it would be no surprise if the step up in trip brought about an improved performance but in a race where stakes should be kept to a minimum for the winner we return to Lord Mayfair.
