Verdict
Bahamian Babe sets a decent standard here, ran highly creditably when a close fourth in Newbury's Super Sprint last time and a reproduction of that effort may well suffice for Michael Bell's filly, who gets the vote ahead of Sirenuse and Alphabeth. The last mentioned disappointed in a Haydock nursery last time but is better than that showing suggests; however, Mick Channon's filly needs to improve to trouble the judge. Dispol Kylie is held by the selection on running at York in May, while Ykikamoocow opened her account on her debut in a seller but has failed to progress from that in two subsequent starts. Bryan Smart's Sirenuse looks to be going the right way having stepped up considerably on her debut effort when landing a Ripon maiden last time but Bahamian Babe has solid claims and is hard to oppose.
