Sir Michael can land another maiden here with Quotation, Siyabona and Riverscape could be the main rivals. The selection ran very green on her debut in a decent Doncaster maiden. She got the hang of things late on and stayed on well to finish second to Lady Jane Digby. The winner has since gone well in a Group three and the third ran well in a valuable sales race so the form is rock solid. Siyabona was well touted before her Leicester debut and did well to finish second to a more experienced runner. She will step up on that performance and looks a massive danger. Riverscape has also shown plenty of ability in two races to date and this one should be vying for some more place money this afternoon. The pick of the newcomers could be Wood Chorus, but this does look an above average maiden and Quotation has the form in the bag and she gets our vote.
