Verdict
It's difficult to make a strong case for any of these but Armada Bay ran his best race so far when third in a maiden here last time and Devout was placed off this mark over 6f at Lingfield recently having gone close at the same track last month. ANNALOVA hasn't shown a great deal so far and has her first run since September but this represents a slight drop in grade and the extra furlong could bring about some improvement. She gets a tentative vote with Maypole Joe having been found wanting in a couple of sellers lately.
