Verdict

Indian Maiden has been a credit to connections and can pay to support again, with Boogie Street, Corridor Creeper and Pivotal's Princess other leading players. Indian Maiden gained her fourth Listed success of the year when scoring at Chester recently, and as long as the ground does not firm up any more, she should be bang in there again. She has as much chance as any in this open event, with Boogie Street perhaps the one to give her most to do. Richard Hannon's charge was a good third behind The Tatling in Group 3 company at Newbury last time but he has become a bit frustrating to follow to say the least and a place only beckons again. Corridor Creeper appreciated the soft ground when landing the Hong Kong Jockey Club Sprint at Newbury in July but goes well here and has won on faster ground in the past. Pivotal's Princess is very highly rated by connections but she faces a stiff task against mainly older opponents. Nevertheless she should be closely followed next season, but for now we are happy to side with Indian Maiden.
