        Verdict

        In an interesting maiden, we will shortlist Genau and Dance A Daydream, but side with Bouzouki Bouzouki stepped up on his Newbury debut to finish a creditable third over seven furlongs on Lingfield's Polytrack last time, and rates a major player based on that performance. Danamour ran green and didn't show too much on his debut but his breeding suggests he is surely better than that. Genau got bogged down by the going last time but had shown promise the time before at Haydock and today's longer trip should bring further gains. Kinetic Power has something to like on breeding and, along with the James Fanshawe-trained Dance A Daydream, a half-sister to Elusive Dream and out of dam who is well-bred, and Ed Dunlop's Galileo filly Whatizzit should be noted in the betting. However, for the selection, we will stick with Bouzouki.
