    Verdict

    A small but competitive field goes to post for this maiden and we will nominate LITTLE SCOTLAND to get the better of Song Of Parkes and Bilash. Richard Fahey has got his string in good form right now and this Acclamation filly can keep the momentum going for the yard. She showed some smart form as a juvenile, and although she was outclassed when last seen out in a Group 2 race, this is significantly easier. Song Of Parkes was well beaten on her debut but she has shaped with plenty of promise this season and she wasn't beaten far when last seen out at Doncaster. Bilash has the best of the draw but he is more exposed than most of these and he has failed to break his duck in seven attempts. Mrs Mogg ran her best race yet at Musselburgh last time but she will need to improve again to win this. It will be a surprise if Boy The Bell is good enough, and we are happy to stick with Little Scotland as the one to beat.
