Verdict
Quite a competitive fillies' maiden and we'll suggest NURTURE to get the better of Pictures, while both Faithful Duchess and Art Machine have claims. All of that quartet have racecourse experience and have shown promise, but the impression left by the selection last time was just that bit more eyecatching. Richard Hannon's runner was slow to get going at Kempton and certainly ran plenty green enough before getting the hang of things too late, but she did some good work at the business end and looks sure to come on plenty for it, so we'll side with her. Pictures was closer still on her Brighton debut, finishing just a quarter-of-a-length adrift over 7f. There is no reason why she can't handle the Polytrack, although the jury is out regarding drop in trip. Faithful Duchess is going the right way after two solid enough runs and Ed Dunlop gives her a go on this surface for the first time. She can get competitive, while it is a surprise that Sir Mark Prescott has dropped Art Machine back in trip after she stayed on well at Kempton last time and she may not quite have the pace for this. Feel The Magic and Gouray Girl look likely to emerge as the best of the debutants, but preference is for Nurture.
