FormscanBy Mark Nunan - ULTRAMARINE is still a maiden after seven starts but gets the vote after some creditable recent efforts in good company. The Zoffany colt twice ran well behind the unbeaten Sacred Bridge over this trip and his latest fourth behind the impressive Native Trail in the Group One National Stakes has resulted in a new rating of 106. Glengarra just got the better of the selection in a Down Royal maiden over seven in July and has to be respected on that form. The Profitable colt was third of four in Listed company next time and is now tried in a first-time visor. Straight Answer had subsequent maiden winner Eriskay back in fourth when showing speed throughout to land a Curragh maiden on debut last month and is open to plenty of improvement. Mise Le Meas won a 7f maiden in good style at Gowran and may have found the ground too soft when fifth in a very strong Group Two at the Curragh last month.
