Verdict
Lady Bahia returned to winning ways last time out and looks set for a repeat this afternoon, Pride Of Joy and Clipper Hoy may provide most danger. The selection is not easy to catch right but won in some style at southwell last time. After losing ground at the start, she came from off a fast pace to take up the running inside the final furlong. Also in her favour is a very impressive effort here back in January when just caught by Hollow Jo. She still looks on a decent mark and must go close from a decent draw. Pride Of Joy also hit winning form last time out, beating a decent type in comfortable style. She has won off a similar mark to today's and has to be a major threat. Clipper Hoy needed his recent outing following a year off and has claims on the pick of his past form. Taboor is a consistent type and should be vying for the places, but in this mood Lady Bahia will be hard to beat this afternoon.
