A 16 runner maiden, and a number of trainers are doubly represented, so this isn't the easiest problem to solve, but there's quite possibly not as much depth as the average Nottingham maiden, so that helps narrow down the field considerably. Debutant Arabic Culture aside, those with form and experience hold the key to the likely outcome. Alqalsar should relish the step up in trip to 1m, whilst the first time cheek-pieced ALWAHSH will be suited by dropping down two furlongs. His latest Wetherby fourth looks much stronger now with the benefit of hindsight with the first three horses in that contest winning since, including the 86 rated winner Shymkent. He looks the most solid option and is entitled to make it fourth time lucky.
