Verdict

Charlie Appleby has an excellent record with 3-y-o newcomers so SPIRITED STYLE could be the answer in what could be an informative maiden. The Gosden stable holds a 3-strong hand with El Budoor making the most appeal before market clues, while Wonder Star can be expected to leave her autumn debut run well behind.
