    Verdict

    Prime Mood showed plenty of promise on his debut and he looks a good bet to lose his maiden tag; Imaginary Diva and First Choice are the main dangers. The selection chased home Playfellow at Haydock last time on heavy ground, but he showed plenty of speed that day and he should come on for the experience. This faster ground should also suit and he looks a sound bet to get his head in front before possibly going on to better things. Imaginary Diva has shown promise on both of her runs so far but she will need to show some improvement if she is to get her head in front today. She is lightly-raced though so there could be more to come. First Choice was a little disappointing at Catterick last time and she is hard to recommend on the back of that effort. Forever's Girl showed promise on her debut, but that was in a seller and she will find this more competitive. This looks a good opportunity for Prime Mood who should be tough to beat.
