This looks a much stronger maiden than usual for the track. Miracle Ninetynine just lost out in a close finish in a Chepstow handicap and his experience will stand him in good stead. The Queen's Pick Your Choice showed up nicely on his introduction at Newmarket in October and Wren Castle will be better for his run there last month. Western Reserve came here for his debut last month and showed up well for a long way while Fine View made a very encouraging debut at Lingfield in October. Forbidden Love will need to improve from her second place at Southwell but a chance is taken on the newcomer BIFF JOHNSON. A 100,000gns son of Dansili, he's the first foal of a mare who won over this trip and his young Australian rider will be keen to start making his mark in this country.
