Verdict
Just in case you can't get enough of them, here's another maiden and with little form for us to go on we will take a chance on Bahamian Spring, who has the right credentials, while Battledress and Mutajammel also merit respect. The selection, by Danehill Dancer, has ticks in the right boxes as far as going, trip and ability to perform as a juvenile are concerned, though the one doubt is that David Loder has not had a winner for a fortnight, so she is not one to lump on and small stakes are advised. Battledress is another who is bred to go well at this trip as a juvenile and will also relish the ground. Again though, Marcus Tregoning runners are not exactly flying at present and you are taking the chance that he will if you support him. Of the remainder, Mutajammel should be sharp enough to perform first time and he comes from a yard still in form, so can be considered a real threat, especially with plenty of two-year-old form among his relations, but Bahamian Spring is made for this contest and he can score.
