Nicky Henderson's point winner SOOMAROY made a promising start in this sphere when runner-up at Ascot and can build on it to go one better here. Ben Pauling's hurdling newcomer Rock Sensation brings plenty of potential and could emerge as the chief danger ahead of Pioneer Pete who also has the form to play a part. Las Canals, Harbour Light and Georgey all need factoring into this intriguing maiden too.

Race Hints
Specific Pace Hint: The pace doesn’t look like being overly strong here and Pioneer Pete should still be served best by being ridden prominently: Despite a suspicion the pace will be sound, those held up such as Las Canals usually is are still likely to have their work cut out.
Individual Price Hint: Pioneer Pete traded at 25% or less of Betfair SP twice on its last 4 starts: Freddiemissmolli traded at 25% or less of Betfair SP and 50% or less of Betfair SP on 2 of its last 4 starts.
