Form & Verdict
Maiden has run some decent races in defeat this season, including when a close second off 63 in a Down Royal handicap (7f, soft) two weeks ago; effective on good ground so dangerous to dismiss on first try in claiming company but needs to rebound from below par Fairyhouse run on Wednesday.
