Verdict

WILBUR can make it third-time lucky. He was a beaten favourite at Catterick last time but seems to be learning on the job and the hope is that he'll keep coming forward. There is clearly ability there and, if settling better, he'll win one of these sooner rather than later. The dangers are Parvenue Star and newcomers Waakabb and Costa Verde.

Top Tip: Wilbur (8)
Watch out for: Parvenue Star (12)

There are a number of well-bred and/or expensive newcomers in here. Not least Martinet, a Frankel daughter of Ribblesdale winner Coronet. She though will probably have been brought along slowly and will be in need of the experience. Costa Verde cost over half-a-million guineas and comes from the family of Dubawi and might be a little further forwards but both may have to give best to one that has raced and preference is for WILBUR who has put up a good show on both starts and ought to be good enough to win a maiden. La Fuerza ran well on his second start and may be the biggest danger.
