Verdict
This is a potentially informative maiden as more than half of the field have already shown definite signs of ability while newcomer American Artist was an 86,000gns yearling who is a half-brother to two useful winners. Midlander was only beaten a short-head on the Polytrack two weeks ago when Drumkilbo was fourth and Mark Johnston's colt is certain to improve on that. Mighty Warrior was second on debut over 5f at Thirsk but FANCIFUL ANGEL makes more appeal. Given plenty to do at Newmarket last month, the grey made eye-catching late headway and will know more today.
