Verdict

Shadowtime, Tenjack King and Saviour Sand are the three for the shortlist in this maiden and we will side with Shadowtime to get his head in front. The selection showed plenty of promise on his debut when he was collared close home by Admiral Dundas at Lingfield. He is entitled to come on for that run and he can get his head in front. Tenjack King looks his chief rival as Jamie Osborne's 3-year-old colt went close here last time when chasing home Conduit and he certainly looks capable of winning races. Saviour Sand wasn't beaten far at Lingfield last time when he pulled too keenly for his own good. If he settles better this afternoon then he could be capable of getting competitive. Trainer Nicky Vaughan has his string in good form at present so Ginger Minx is certainly worth noting in the market. However, Shadowtime made a positive impression on his debut and he is taken to score.
