Parvenu is a lightly raced runner from a top stable who broke his maiden impressively last start. The step up to 1609m should suit, and with Daniel Stackhouse aboard, he looks to have significant upside. Despite a slightly wider draw, his potential makes him the horse to beat.

Yes Yoshi remains undefeated from two starts and brings a perfect win record into this race. Despite the wide barrier, the horse's demonstrated ability and scope for further improvement make it the clear top selection here. The class rise is manageable given its impressive career to date.

Holding Captive showed immense promise on debut, finishing second and demonstrating a strong will to win. With the benefit of that experience and a favourable inside draw, this Maher runner looks perfectly placed to break its maiden.

This debutant from the Hayes stable has shown impressive trial form, suggesting she has above-average ability for a maiden.
