Verdict

In a winnable maiden, LINCALL looks worth another chance to confirm the promise of his hurdle debut, while Genepi George is open to improvement upped in trip and could be the danger. Tiger Twins and Hilltop Duchess should do better at some stage and are worth noting for support, along with Listentomewillya who showed more here last time.
