An interesting maiden that may fall to the newcomer Fantastic Promise, Katchit and Billich may provide most danger. John Gosden's runners always merit plenty of respect her and Fantastic Promise is bred to be a decent type. She is by Fantastic Light out of a Danzig mare, and unless the market says otherwise, she could be the best option here. Katchit has shown plenty of ability in all his races to date and his recent handicap effort off a mark of 73 entitles him to every respect. Billich is also rated in the early seventies and finished runner up in a good looking maiden at Lingfield last time out, he should be in the firing line again today. Fantasy Legend and Lightning Strike are two other debutante's to keep an eye on in the betting, but, as long as she doesn't drift dramatically in the market, Fantastic Promise looks the one to be on.
