This maiden can go the way of No To Trident, with Trinkila and Tension Mounts others to consider. The selection chased home Trenchmark at Chepstow last time and that was a significant improvement on his debut effort. He looks progressive and he should be up to landing this moderate affair. Trinkila is another that looks progressive and she wasn't beaten far by Nowaira at Leicester last time. Tension Mounts was a fair third behind Kal Barg last time over 7f at Kempton and he shaped that day as though this extra furlong would suit. We're Delighted will need to improve on what he has shown so far to make the frame, and we will return to No To Trident who gets the pick.
