Verdict

A very weak maiden, even by median auction standards, with the James Tate trained ROYAL REQUEST handed a golden opportunity to get off the mark at the second attempt. She receives weight from all of her rivals (bar her main danger; the debutant Melonade), and in the hands of Luke Morris surely only needs to replicate rather than better her recent debut at Wolverhampton to shed the maiden tag.
