      Verdict

      Bragging Rights, Fathey and Snow Bay are the three that make the shortlist here with preference for Kevin Ryan's Bragging Rights. Bryan Smart had a winning juvenile debutant at Musselburgh last Friday and any market move for his Snow Bay should be heeded. A son of Bahamian Bounty, out of a mare who won over six furlongs as a two-year-old, Snow Bay was a relatively inexpensive purchase, but the fact that he is given an early opportunity is a hint that he has been showing up well on the gallops. Fathey cost three times the price of Snow Bay and is very much sprint bred, being a half brother to six winners. Richard Fahey's juveniles are yet to get off the mark however and he is best watched here. At 31,000 guineas, Bragging Rights is even more expensive, and is a son of Xaar, with the accent on sprinters on the dam's side of the family. Ryan had an expected winning debutant last Friday, and he clearly knows the time of day with his juveniles. Bragging Rights could be the one to follow here.
