Bahama Mama is the form choice in the Molecomb and has to get the vote to make it four wins from five starts with stablemate Winning Spirit and Dazed And Amazed among the main dangers. Winning Spirit finally justified market favouritism at Redcar last time and has the assistance of Frankie Dettori but Shane Kelly has built up a good relationship with Jeremy Noseda's other runner Bahama Mama, who bounced back from a disappointing effort in the Albany when running out the convincing winner of a Listed race at Sandown last time. On that evidence Bahama Mama looks to be the one they all have to beat. The William Haggas-trained Enticing has done nothing wrong in her two starts but this looks tougher, while Wi Dud represents a yard with plenty of good ammunition on this division and has also an unbeaten record to defend. Kevin Ryan's filly was good value for her York win and may well improve enough to win this but Bahama Mama is the one with form in the book and she has to be the selection.
