Verdict
There is not much public form to go on here so BALLYCOMMON is only given a tentative vote over Always Dazzling and Bahraj. Kevin Ryan does well with his juveniles and Ballycommon catches the eye on breeding. He has a good draw and he looks the percentage call. Always Dazzling is a Cadeaux Genereux filly and Mark Johnston has his string in good form so she is another worth considering on her racecourse debut. Like her stablemate Bahraj she has a good draw and she is worth monitoring in the market for signs of confidence. Lord Aeryn shaped with promise on his racecourse debut at Newcastle when he ran very green. He was getting the hang of things in the closing stages that day and if he can improve then that would give him an obvious chance. The market may well provide the clues here but we will give our vote to Ballycommon.
