Verdict

Fly Time, Bollin Franny and Bush Breakfast look to be the leading lights in this maiden and the vote is given to Fly Time. The selection is from a yard that are running into some form and although she finished down the field behind Autumn Time at Lingfield last time, she wasn't beaten all that far and her previous form is more than respectable. She has a good draw and Tony Culhane in the plate tonight and she looks to have strong claims. Bollin Franny is a lightly-raced colt and he will represent the main danger as he finished a good second behind Russian Silk last time over 5f. He was doing all his best work at the finish that day so the suspicion is that he may do slightly better over an extra furlong. Bush Breakfast should be noted in the market as he showed some promise on his racecourse debut, although he will need to improve to get competitive today. Nomoreblondes is an interesting newcomer with the plum draw and this filly is not without hope, but for the winner we will stick with Fly Time.
