An ordinary maiden that can go to the well-bred Oramore Castle, who can get the better of Altesse, who at least has a fitness edge over many of the rest. Burhaan - a half-brother to the useful sprinter Malhub - is worth monitoring in the betting, while support for Gennie Bond will be interesting to note after she made an encouraging reappearance at Kempton at the start of this month. However, that form was nothing out of the ordinary and, like most of the rest, she now has improvement to find. Altesse was campaigned on the continent last year and is hard to assess on that form. She is likely to strip fitter for her recent start and can go close here. Still Oramore Castle makes far more appeal at this stage and consider the famous names associated with him amongst his owners, his connections look to have found him an ideal opportunity to get off the mark in this company.
Burhaan (IRE) Green Desert colt, half-brother to several winners including the useful Malhub.
