        Verdict

        SAIF AL FAHAD Ysing Yi and Zelloof make most appeal in this maiden and the vote is given to the first-named. The selection hails from a yard that merits plenty of respect in these type of events and he has shaped with plenty of promise on his two starts to date. He looked as though he would be suited by an extra furlong when last seen out and as he gets that here he should go close. Ysing Yi ran a sound race over this trip last time but he disappointed on his only previous try here and on that basis we will pass him over. Godolphin have had some joy with their juvenile of late so Zelloof is another worth a mention, although she was well beaten at Pontefract last time. John Gosden's Seminole showed up well on his debut but he since seems to have regressed, and we will stick with Saif Al Fahad as the selection.
