Formscan  - MARAAHEB was giving weight away when he finished second to a previous winner over 1m4f at Lingfield last month and appeals the most after that encouraging effort. Dropping back in trip shouldn't be an issue for the Andrew Balding-trained colt, who is taken to shed the maiden tag at the third time of asking. Cayman Dancer's Beverley debut wasn't without promise, while Roger Varian's newcomer Empress Of All is another interesting option.
