Forecasts

Mutazawwed (1/1), Elected (11/4), Saunton (3/1), Headshot (11/2), Emerald Ensign (20/1), On The Nose (33/1)

A decent looking maiden with the two newcomers Elected and Headshot looking interesting candidates on paper. The former will probably need stepped up in distance in time but he should represent himself well enough, which makes the latter a more appealing proposition given his pedigree. Ready preference is for the other Richard Hannon-trained contestant though in the shape of SAUNTON whose debut form in a Newmarket maiden could prove to be high class. If he runs to that level again he should prove tough to beat. The step up to 6f should suit Mutazawwed who displayed plenty of promise on debut until being ran down late on by speedier types over the minimum trip.
