      Verdict

      A pretty average field here for this maiden with Jade's Promise sneaking into this despite winning on Monday. That performance was below her best and whether she can turn out so soon remains to be seen. The other variable is the track upon which he makes his debut. Saying that she may still have too much here for her unreliable rivals. Her main danger could be Beady who has run well on all his appearances at this track and showed his well being with a decent effort last time out at Wolverhampton. He is the TEAMtalk selection. Of the rest Cotebrook has shown signs of ability in the past and this trip will be no problem. However his run last time out was poor and does not augur well for his chances here. Colonnade is interesting on his debut having shown promise on his three starts last season and any market moves would be significant.
