        Verdict

        Holiday Camp looks to be steadily improving and can land this tricky looking maiden, Qaasi and Ballet Ballon could provide most danger. The Barry Hills trained colt had shown plenty of promise before chasing home Sound Breeze at Ripon last time. That winner then went on to land a handicap by five lengths off a mark of 82, so the form could be pretty decent and he looks the one to be on here. Sound Breeze is trained by Mark Johnston who trains the newcomer Qaasi. Any market move for this son of Rahy should be taken seriously. Ballet Ballon, like the selection is progressing nicely and should be capable of making the frame. Best of the others could be Singalong, but Holiday Camp appears to the the strongest form on show and gets our vote.
