VALEDICTORY has shaped with plenty of promise in a pair of strong maidens and may be able to get off the mark on first start since being gelded. Well-bred Rehaiby should improve from his encouraging debut and rates the main danger, while Abando (placed in a German Group 3) was well below form on his stable/U.K. debut and it remains to be seen if first-time cheekpieces have the desired effect.
