    Verdict

    The Hannon yard has won this twice in the past four years and though After The Goldrush has only looked moderate so far and will need to find more this isn't the strongest looking maiden. D'AVIGNON has something to live up to as his dam has produced six earlier foals and all have won including Group 1 winner Rainbow View. John Gosden's colt looked in need of a stiffer test on both starts last term and should get it here. Moshe is likely to need further than this as will Ravenous, who couldn't go the pace over 7f at Doncaster but had run well over a mile on his final start last season. Swilken was a 50/1 chance when runner-up at Lingfield but the winner has been beaten three times subsequently while Permitted has been well beaten in both starts.
