      Verdict

      In a maiden that won't take much winning we're just going to side with the standard setting SWIFT RETURN over newcomer Bohemian Melody while Demo Jo looks best of the rest. Marco Botti's Bohemian Melody certainly has enough winners in the family to suggest he can go well first time up over this trip but we will just side with experience in Swift Return. The pick represents a yard going well and will be under a jockey in the form of his career so having gone close twice in some fair maidens this gelding should be able to account for these if repeating his best form. Demo Jo is another newcomer in the line-up and this looks to be at the extreme end of how far she can go. Her pedigree offers plenty of hope for the future but she might find a couple too good this time. Fancy Star's been well held in a couple of better races than this so far and should show improvement but we'd like to see something from him first so we opt for Swift Return.
