MAYTAL shaped encouragingly on her debut last November and should progress as she steps up in trip given her excellent pedigree. She is in very good hands and could take all the beating here. Skytree also shaped very well towards the end of last season and has to be feared with improvement coming. Belles Lettres is an interesting newcomer for another top yard.
