Another tricky maiden with many top stables represented and so a tentative vote is given to Hustle, Sea Admiral and Tasdeer are two to watch in the betting. Hustle displayed improved form on his second outing when third to Cat Junior at Newbury. The runner up has won nicely since so the form has a good look about it and so Hustle could be the safest option. However there are some well bred newcomers including Tasdeer. Michael Jarvis's charge is a son af Rahy and is related to numerous high class horses. The stable can ready one first time out so watch for any significant money. This also applies to the Roger Charlton trained Sea Admiral, a son of the Derby winner Sinndar, although middle distances should be his forte next season. Beneath The Trees and Leitmotif are two debutantes that are well related, however it will take a decent type to beat Hustle and this one gets the decision.
