Verdict
MAYSON MAC is by far the most experienced here and can also be considered the most exposed as a consequence. However, he returned from an abortive effort at Royal Ascot to run an excellent second in a decent Ripon nursery and can get back on the winning track back in novice auction company despite conceding weight all round. Antonia Clara has a major chance if repeating her very promising second run when pretty close up in a good maiden at the Newmarket July meeting and receives over a stone from the selection with Milly Naseb's claim factored in. Amoreena merits shortlist inclusion on the back of an improved run at Yarmouth and Liquid Lunch is a newcomer to note for the Fahey team.
