      Verdict

      Mr Dandy Man is by far the most experienced but doesn't seem to be progressing with racing and finished behind Thrtypointstothree at Bath on Friday evening. Placings should be confirmed as the latter is also the likelier improver. However, the form of Bonjour Steve's debut third, also at Bath, looks stronger but it would not surprise if a newcomer proved good enough. Therefore, the vote goes to TAQUKA who is taken to make a winning debut for the Oaks-winning yard of Ralph Beckett. The stable enjoys an excellent 27% strike rate here over the past five years whilst market support would also strengthen confidence.
