Verdict

This maiden shouldn't take much winning and with benchmark Kissing Clara looking a little exposed SEPTEMBER DRAW can be another two-year-old winner for Richard Hannon while any money for newcomer Zain Al Boldan would be interesting. Related to plenty of winners and expensive enough the selection ran a solid debut when halfway down a 12 runner field at Leicester. She should come on for that although on the face of it the step up in trip is not an obvious plus. Kissing Clara is rated at a useful enough 72 and found just the one too good in three maidens in a row before being well held in handicap company. That last run suggest her current mark flatters her and it would be a surprise if the pick isn't better rated in time. Zain Al Boldan is bred for this trip and has lots of winning relations so should go well for a yard who can ready one. Outside this trio the others are hard to recommend so September Draw can be another for "Team H".
