Verdict

Bahamian Dancer faces his easiest task to date and should lose his maiden certificate before going on to better things as his big-race entries clearly indicate. Jeremy Noseda's charge ran well in defeat on his first two starts but was slightly disappointing on his most recent outing on rain-softened ground at Newmarket. The son of Bering can prove too strong back on this quicker surface at the main expense of Theatre Time. The latter was pitched in to Listed company on his debut and was far from disgraced but may have to settle for minor honours on this occasion while Financial Future has something improvement to find to feature at this level.
