A fairly open maiden in which Nathania boasts the single strongest piece of form, but that debut effort came over 7F and she tries this trip of 1m3F plus for the first time tonight. Sufi sets a fairly solid benchmark in terms of ratings, but it would be no great surprise to see a less exposed rival improve more. This brings both Mudajaj and Park Paddocks into contention (closely matched on their Leicester clash), but a chance is taken on the Richard Hannon trained AKAMANTO. This race looks a shade easier than the Newbury maiden he tackled last month, and whilst he has work to do with Nathania on their clash at Lingfield in April, his odds should reflect that fact and he's a value based speculative selection.
