Race Description This race is a six furlongs maiden stakes for two-year-olds Maiden races provide a starting point for young horses that are yet to record a victory and most will be very lightly-raced or be making their racecourse debuts Previous experience can count for a lot when searching for the winner but well-bred or precocious juveniles are more than capable of landing the prize at the first time of asking.

JE NE SAIS QUOI shaped well in a stonger race than this at Ascot on debut and looks the one to beat despite the presence of Latama, who looks an interesting newcomer Midnight Lir is also quite appealing.
