In depth
Verdict
Laith, Naqi and Laylati look the three to concentrate on in this maiden and the vote is given to Laith. The selection was a fair fourth behind Prince Of Light last time out. This looks easier and he need only ruin up to that mark to score. Naqi rates the main danger as he showed a modicum of ability on his debut when fifth behind Power Politics. He is sure to have learnt from the experience and should be noted in the market. Laylati is another worthy of respect on his latest fourth behind Qusoor and is another that is sure to improve. Of the remainder Emily is a Dansili filly, half-sister to winning miler Girls Band and 7f to 1m2f winner Cuddles but she bred to better over a longer trip and for that reason is opposed and for the winner we return to Laith who sets the standard here.
