Beaten 13L when making his debut over 1m2f at Wetherby (good) last month. Slowly away on that occasion and likely to fare better in first time cheekpieces here for a yard with a 38% strike-rate recently (8/21).

Ran two solid races in maiden races on the AW at Kempton in March. Most recent of those came when finishing 1¼L second over 1m and makes his turf debut today.
Well held twice at big prices in maiden company at Newmarket this spring and likely to fare better once tackling handicap events.

Forecasts

Mesbaar (11/4), Wonderfillo (3/1), Meyrick (7/2), Powderhouse (11/2), Eternal Dream (8/1), Monaadhil (10/1), Aladdin Sane (50/1), Upended (50/1), Tallulah's Quest (100/1)

Verdict

WONDERFILLO has run well in two AW maidens at Kempton and he can make a winning debut on this surface by taking this 1m maiden event. The selection finished runner-up at Kempton last time out and can see off well connected newcomer Mesbaar in this Powderhouse, well beaten on debut at Wetherby earlier this season taken to step up on that in first time cheekpieces by finishing third.
  1. Wonderfillo
  2. Mesbaar
  3. Powderhouse
