Forecasts

Middle Creek (13/8), Ambrosia (2/1), Meccabah (2/1), Valley Of Light (5/2), Supreme Power (14/1), Servo (33/1), Urban Spirit (33/1), Dream Destroyer (50/1)

Verdict

No clear standout option in this rather modest maiden, but with Meccabah a non-runner, that narrows down the list of likely winners to just three horses. First time headgear is applied to two of those runners; Ambrosia and VALLEY OF LIGHT. Saeed Bin Suroor's 400,000 gns (foal) purchase is currently appearing a very costly acquisition, but it's feasible that she's simply a very slow learner and the visor could help to sharpen her focus. She should appreciate the drop back in trip, and gets a narrow vote over the John Gosden trained newcomer Middle Creek.
