In depth

Verdict

A mark of 77 is usually good enough to land an average maiden race such as this and VEGAS REBEL gets the vote after finding only one too good in a Class 2 handicap at Newmarket. Captain Revelation showed a big improvement at Southwell last time, though that may have been down to the Fibresand surface, while Anonymous John can be given a chance back in maiden company. It's too soon to write off Alakhtal after a poor effort at Nottingham and Heaven's Secret is another to consider.
