Arbalet (9/4), Knockout Blow (11/4), Knowing Glance (6/1), Don Pepe (6/1), International Man (13/2), Shaheen (7/1), Astraea (10/1), Dark Freedom (14/1), Cathie's Dream (33/1)

Verdict

An interesting maiden where Knockout Blow will be popular given that he has the best form on the board. He may well win at the third time of asking, but the most eyecatching newcomer here is DARK FREEDOM, who hails from a yard whose two-year-olds are in cracking form and there is plenty in his pedigree to suggest that he can make an exciting debut. The expensive Arbalet and Knowing Glance should both be capable of giving a good account, while Don Pepe is another to check out in the market.
